"As of last year, 78 percent of the people included in the most prominent form of genomic research—genome-wide association studies (GWAS)—were of European ancestry."
"As of last year, 78 percent of the people included in the most prominent form of genomic research—genome-wide association studies (GWAS)—were of European ancestry."
"Yet genetic studies are now dominated by that subset, according to a new article in Cell."
"Yet genetic studies are now dominated by that subset, according to a new article in Cell."
"According to the researchers, heavily biased genetic databases could—and do—lead scientists and doctors to diagnose conditions or prescribe treatments that might be relevant to people with European genes, but not for people from other racial backgrounds."

The statement that establishes the author's claim is:
"According to the researchers, heavily biased genetic databases could—and do—lead scientists and doctors to diagnose conditions or prescribe treatments that might be relevant to people with European genes, but not for people from other racial backgrounds."
This statement highlights the central issue of bias in genetic research and its consequences, which is likely the author's main argument.
