Answer 1

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 directly addresses the implications of biased genetic research and supports the author's claim about the consequences of such biases.
