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 main issue related to bias in genetic databases and its impact on medical outcomes, which is likely the focus of the author's argument.
