Epigenetics and the embodiment of race: Developmental origins of US racial disparities in cardiovascular health (2009, background): “…in adult metabolic disease, and pleiotropic genes that influence insulin metabolism could yield a correlation between fetal growth and conditions like insulin resistance or diabetes as a result of genetic rather than developmental processes (Freathy et al., 2007; Hattersley and Tooke, 1999).”
BAPS 2: enhanced possibilities for the analysis of genetic population structure (2004, background): “, 2003) have generated a lot of discussion in several scientific forums (Cooper et al., 2003; Burchard et al., 2003; Calafell, 2003; Excoffier and Hamilton, 2003; Feldman et al., 2003; Haga and Venter, 2003).”
Understanding Racial/ethnic Disparities in Health: Sociological Contributions (2010, background): “…variations in biological characteristics relevant for health risks are not inherently structured into meaningful “racial” categories such that identifying ancestry provides little direct information regarding whether an individual has a specific genetic characteristic (Cooper et al. 2003).”
How race becomes biology: embodiment of social inequality. (2009, background): “…ancestry may help to explain racial differences in disease (Salari et al., 2005; Risch, 2006; Tang et al., 2006) poses conceptual and methodological problems: First, estimates of genetic ancestry are generally based on noncoding DNA with unknown functional effects on disease (Cooper et al., 2003).”
Genetic structure, self-identified race/ethnicity, and confounding in case-control association studies. (2005, neutral): “Some have argued that the amount of genetic variation within populations dwarfs the variation between populations, suggesting that discrete genetic categories are not useful (Lewontin 1972; Cooper et al. 2003; Haga and Venter 2003).”
Introduction: Race, Genetics, and Disease (2008, background): “But such race-based research and marketing runs the danger of being misinterpreted as evidence of a genetic basis underlying disease susceptibility and differential responses to drugs across socioculturally defined racial groups (Cooper et al., 2003; Duster, 2005; Kahn, 2006).”
