Correction to: Self-reported race/ethnicity in the age of genomic research: its potential impact on understanding health disparities (Human Genomics, (2015), 9, 1, (1), 10.1186/s40246-014-0023-x)

Abstract

Following the publication of the original article [1], an error for reference 69 citation was identified. Reference 69 (Salas A, Carracedo A, Richards M, Macaulay V. Charting the ancestry of African Americans. Am J Hum Genet. 2005;77(4):676–80) referred to a wrong article and was replaced by the following citation: Kodaman N, Aldrich MC, Smith JR, et al. A small number of candidate gene SNPs reveal continental ancestry in African Americans. Ann Hum Genet. 2013; 77(1):56-66. Also, in the Conclusion section, the word “more” before "accurately" was missing and should be read as: Genetic ancestry can describe genetic relatedness more accurately than race and ethnicity. The original article [1] has been corrected.
