  • Do genetic ancestry tests increase racial essentialism? Findings from a randomized controlled trial

    These results indicate that individuals’ interpretations of genetic ancestry testing results, and the links between genes and race, may depend on their understanding of genetics.

  • Context-dependence of race self-classification: Results from a highly mixed and unequal middle-income country

    We investigated the association between genomic ancestry, the racial composition of census tracts and individual socioeconomic factors and self-declared race/colour in a cohort of 15,105 Brazilians.

  • this evidence invites a re-evaluation of the relevance of racial/ethnic labels

    In conclusion, based on a consecutive series of patients from an urban medical center in New York City we demonstrate that a spectrum of mixed ancestry is emerging in the largest US minority groups. While consistent with previous descriptive studies, when viewed from the clinical perspective this evidence invites a re-evaluation of the relevance of…
