Tags: `Genetics` `Race & Ethnicity` `Biomedical Research`
Key Statistics
- General Observations:
- A near-perfect alignment between self-identified race/ethnicity (SIRE) and genetic ancestry was observed.
- Misclassification rate: 0.14%.
2. Subgroup Analysis:
- Four groups analyzed: White, African American, East Asian, and Hispanic.
- Hispanic genetic clusters showed significant European and Native American lineage.
Findings
- Self-identified race strongly aligns with genetic ancestry.
- Minor discrepancies exist but do not significantly impact classification.
Relevance to Subproject
- Reinforces the reliability of self-reported racial identity in genetic research.
- Highlights policy considerations in biomedical studies.
