Genetic Risk Tools Less Accurate for Non-European Populations
Genetic prediction models designed to assess disease risk have largely been trained on European DNA, making them less accurate for people of other ancestries. Scientists warn this imbalance could widen existing healthcare disparities around the world. While the tools hold revolutionary promise for medicine, broader genetic diversity in training data is needed before they can be deployed equitably.
