Genetic melting pot: Study unveils complex admixture in European ancestry populations

In a recent Nature Communications study, researchers revealed that Europeans and European Americans possess a significant subcontinental genetic admixture, challenging the notion that these populations are homogenous. This finding suggests the need to re-evaluate genetic epidemiology studies that may have overlooked the influence of admixture on disease associations and trait heritability in these groups.
