This discussion focuses on an \u201cinfrastructure of racialization\u201d created by current trajectories of research on genetic differences among racially identified groups, the use of race as a proxy for risk in clinical practice, and increasing interest in new market niches by the pharmaceutical industry.<\/p>\n<p>The confluence of these factors has resulted in the conflation of genes, disease, and race.
