"There is a flawed assumption that when designing a
genome-wide association study of disease, stratifying a standard genome panel sample by race helps to detect meaningful genetic
differences. Rather,
stratifying analyses by race, can introduce bias that reinforces essentialist
notions of biological race . biased samples
and standard genomic panels lead to ascertainment
bias when assessing non-European populations"
