Question

(1 point)

"Sometime around 80,000 years ago, a small number of descendants left the continent and radiated around the globe, taking with them just a subset of the genes and genetic variation that their ancestors had developed."

"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."

"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."

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 clearly articulates the central argument regarding the implications of biased genetic research on different racial backgrounds.
