Abstract

African populations are currently underrepresented in global psychiatric genetics research. Here, we highlight the importance of conducting psychiatric genetics research in Africa, key issues which have hindered such research, and ongoing initiatives and strategies to overcome these issues. Kalungi et al. highlight the underrepresentation of African populations in psychiatric genetic research. They advocate for strategic investments, capacity building, and collaboration to empower African scientists and institutions, emphasizing community engagement and ethical considerations for robust and culturally sensitive research in Africa.

在非洲开展公平的精神病基因研究的方法。
目前,非洲人口在全球精神病遗传学研究中的代表性不足。在此,我们强调了在非洲开展精神遗传学研究的重要性、阻碍此类研究的关键问题,以及为克服这些问题而正在采取的举措和战略。Kalungi 等人强调了非洲人口在精神病遗传学研究中代表性不足的问题。他们主张进行战略投资、能力建设和合作,以增强非洲科学家和机构的能力,同时强调社区参与和伦理方面的考虑,以便在非洲开展稳健且具有文化敏感性的研究。
