  • The Reemergence of a Biological Conceptualization of Race in Research on Race/Ethnic Disparities in Health
    Back with a Vengeance: the Reemergence of a Biological Conceptualization of Race in Research on Race/Ethnic Disparities in Health Reanne Frank Department of Society, Human Development and Health, Harvard University Department of Sociology, Ohio State University Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Population Association of America. Los Angeles California, March 30-April 1, 2006. Over the last five years, literature on the role of race in biomedicine has exploded. Articles detailing differences in allele frequencies between ‘racial’ groups have become commonplace in the journal Nature-Genetics . The clinical relevance of race/ancestry groupings has been debated in the pages of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and in the Annals of Internal Medicine . The latest issue of the New England Journal of Medicine contained a full feature article, one letter and one commentary, all positing a genetic connection between race and disease. The recent approval by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) of BiDil, a heart failure medication patented exclusively for African-Americans, likely marks the beginning of new era of race-based pharmaceuticals and clinical care. It would not be an exaggeration to say that we are currently on the forefront of a new wave of scientific endeavors, fueled largely by developments in the Human Genome Project (HGP), which will alter the fields of anthropology, population genetics, epidemiology, demography, and medicine for years to come. But to argue that the current developments aimed at elucidating a genetic basis of race/ethnic disparities in health, constitute an entirely new phenomenon, would be to ignore the weight of history connecting race, genes, and disease.

  • Does Genomics Challenge the Social Construction of Race?
    STXXXX10.1177/0735275114550881Sociological TheoryMorning 550881research-article2014 Article Sociological Theory 2014, Vol. 32(3) 189 –207 Does Genomics Challenge the © American Sociological Association 2014 DOI: 10.1177/0735275114550881 Social Construction of Race? stx.sagepub.com Ann Morning1 Abstract Shiao, Bode, Beyer, and Selvig argue that the theory of race as a social construct should be revisited in light of recent genetic research, which they interpret as demonstrating that human biological variation is patterned in “clinal classes” that are homologous to races. In this reply, I examine both their claims and the genetics literature they cite, concluding that not only does constructivist theory already accommodate the contemporary study of human biology, but few geneticists portray their work as bearing on race. Equally important, methods for statistically identifying DNA-based clusters within the human species are shaped by several design features that offer opportunities for the incorporation of cultural assumptions about difference. As a result, Shiao et al.’s theoretical distinction between social race and biological “clinal class” is empirically jeopardized by the fact that even our best attempts at objectively recording “natural” human groupings are socially conditioned. Keywords race, science, genetics, ethnicity, classification Early on in “The Genomic Challenge to the Social Construction of Race,” Shiao, Bode, Beyer, and Selvig (2012:67, 69) describe the social constructionist account of race as “lack- ing biological reality.” As they see it, the constructivist perspective is “unnecessarily bur- dened with . a conception of human biological variation that is out of step with recent advances in genetic research” (Shiao et al. 2012:68). The authors’ response is to propose a “solution” that reformulates racial constructionism by reconceptualizing the nature of racial (and ethnic) categorization (Shiao et al.

  • How Genomics Is Rewriting Race, Medicine and Human History
    Patterns of Prejudice, Vol. 40, Nos 4Á/5, 2006 Blood and stories: how genomics is rewriting race, medicine and human history PRISCILLA WALD ABSTRACT In 2003 Howard University announced its intention to create a databank of the DNA of African Americans, most of whom were patients in their medical centre. Proponents of the decision invoked the routine exclusion of African Americans from research that would give them access to the most up-to-date medical technologies and treatments. They argued that this databank would rectify such exclusions. Opponents argued that such a move tacitly affirmed the biological (genetic) basis of race that had long fuelled racism as well as that the potential costs were not worth the uncertain benefits. Howard University’s controversial decision emerges from research in genomic medicine that has added new urgency to the question of the relationship between science and racism. This relationship is the topic of Wald’s essay. Scientific disagreements over the relative usefulness of ‘race’ as a classification in genomic medical research have been obscured by charges of racism and political correctness. The question takes us to the assumptions of population genomics that inform the medical research, and Wald turns to the Human Genome Diversity Project, the new Genographics Project and the 2003 film Journey of Man to consider how racism typically inheres not in the intentions of researchers, but in the language, images and stories through which scientists, journalists and the public inevitably interpret information. Wald demonstrates the importance of under- standing those stories as inseparable from scientific and medical research. Her central argument is that if we understand the power of the stories we can better understand the debates surrounding race and genomic medicine, which, in turn, can help us make better ethical and policy decisions and be useful in the practices of science and medicine.

  • 1 Human Genetic Variation Recognizes Functional Elements In

Yet, it is unclear which specific non-coding sites are essential for gene function and regulation. To identify functional elements in non-coding DNA, we characterized genetic variation within introns using ethnically diverse human polymorphism data from three public databases, PMT, NIEHS, and Seattle SNPs. We demonstrate that positions within introns corresponding to known functional elements involved in pre-mRNA splicing, including the branch site, splice sites, and polypyrimidine tract show reduced levels of genetic variation. Additionally, we observed regions of reduced genetic variation that are candidates for distance dependent localization sites of functional elements, possibly intronic splicing enhancers (ISEs). Using several bioinformatics approaches, we provide additional evidence that supports our hypotheses that these regions correspond to ISEs. We conclude that studies of genetic variation can successfully discriminate and identify functional elements in non-coding regions. As more non-coding sequence data becomes available, the methods employed here can be utilized to identify additional functional elements in the human genome and provide possible explanations for phenotypic associations.

These changes resulted from the Budget Resource Management review that occurred following approval by the Graduate Council. The changes are listed below and are incorporated into the attached application packet. 1. Class cohorts have been increased from 10 to 11 students per year 2. A revised budget (pg. 57) now reflects the increase in class cohort size and an increase in student fees from $42,000 to $44,000/year 3. Teaching FTE in the program has increased. The prior proposal mistakenly only included teaching effort to be charged to the program, not the total effort devoted to teaching. The correct figure is 1.32 FTE for teaching. We are committed to establishing one of the premier genetic counseling programs in the United States and continuing with the standard of excellence that has defined many other UCSF educational programs. The group of clinical geneticists, genetic counselors and researchers at UCSF is enthusiastic about this program and eager to see it come to fruition. Additionally, support for this program extends beyond UCSF and into the Bay Area genetics community.
