The first study from the African Ancestry Neuroscience Research Initiative suggests that genes linked to African ancestry could affect some brain cells in ways that may heighten Alzheimer's disease and stroke risks.
Genes related to European ancestry could influence other brain cells, potentially raising the risk of Parkinson's disease which is less prevalent in Black Americans.
Dr. Kafui Dzirasa emphasizes the importance of understanding individual genomic structure for tailored medical care, envisioning a future where medicines are prescribed based on personal genetic makeup.
