关于生物医学和基因研究的种族/民族类别的有效性，已经出现了一场辩论。从流行病学的角度来看，生物医学和遗传研究中的人类分类问题有力地支持继续使用自我确定的种族和族裔。关于生物医学和基因研究的种族/民族类别的有效性，已经出现了一场辩论。一些人声称“没有种族的生物学基础”，而另一些人则主张“种族中立”的方法，使用基因聚类而不是自我认同的种族来对人类基因进行分类。我们对生物医学和基因研究中的人类分类问题提供了流行病学观点，强烈支持继续使用自我确认的种族和民族。
A debate has arisen regarding the validity of racial/ethnic categories for biomedical and genetic research. An epidemiologic perspective on the issue of human categorization in biomedical and genetic research strongly supports the continued use of self-identified race and ethnicity. A debate has arisen regarding the validity of racial/ethnic categories for biomedical and genetic research. Some claim 'no biological basis for race' while others advocate a 'race-neutral' approach, using genetic clustering rather than self-identified ethnicity for human genetic categorization. We provide an epidemiologic perspective on the issue of human categorization in biomedical and genetic research that strongly supports the continued use of self-identified race and ethnicity.
