The Vanderbilt DNA Databank (BioVU) is a biorepository that currently contains >80,000 DNA samples linked to electronic medical records. While BioVU is a valuable source of samples and phenotypes for genetic association studies, it is unclear whether the administratively assigned race/ethnicity in BioVU can accurately describe and be used as a proxy for genetic ancestry. We genotyped 360 SNPs on the Illumina DNA Test Panel containing ancestry informative markers (AIMs) in 1910 BioVU samples with observer-reported ancestry and 384 samples from the Multiple Sclerosis Genetics Group with self-reported ancestry. Genetic ancestry was inferred for all individuals using STRUCTURE 2.2. More than 98% of observer-reported European Americans (EA) was genetically inferred to have at least 60% European ancestry. Ninety-three of observer-reported African Americans (AA) was genetically inferred to be predominantly of African ancestry. We determined that the concordance of observer-reported race/ethnicity and inferred genetic ancestry was not significantly different from that of self-reported race/ethnicity in either population (p=0.09 and 0.94 in European Americans and African Americans, respectively). Observer-reported race/ethnicity for European Americans and African Americans approximates genetic ancestry as well as self-reported race/ethnicity, making biorepositories linked to EMRs such as BioVU a viable source of DNA samples for future large-scale genetic association studies.
