Abstract:Knowing a patient's genetic ancestry is crucial in clinical settings, providing benefits such as tailored genetic testing, targeted health screening based on ancestral disease-predisposition rates, and personalized medication dosages. However, self-reported ancestry can be subjective, making it difficult to apply consistently. Moreover, existing approaches utilize genome sequencing data to infer ancestry at the continental level, creating the need for methods optimized for individual ancestry assignment. We pr… Show more
