DOI: 10.1002/mds.29126
Abstract: Human genetics research lacks diversity; over 80% of genome‐wide association studies have been conducted on individuals of European ancestry. In addition to limiting insights regarding disease mechanisms, disproportionate representation can create disparities preventing equitable implementation… read more here.

Abstract: Genetic studies in underrepresented populations identify disproportionate numbers of novel associations. However, most genetic studies use genotyping arrays and sequenced reference panels that best capture variation most common in European ancestry populations. To compare data… read more here.
