Genes associated with African ancestry affect brain cells, potentially increasing Alzheimer's and stroke risk, while European ancestry genes may up Parkinson's disease risk.
Genetic ancestry doesn't seem to directly influence neurons, suggesting societal factors like stress and bias could account for neurological disorder disparities in Black Americans.
Study highlights the need to include diverse populations in genomic research to understand how ancestry impacts neurological disease risk and treatment response.
