“This summer, Howard University Medical School in Washington announced it
will begin building a first-of-its-kind gene bank. Although other gene
banks would be larger – such as Iceland’s DeCode project or the United
Kingdom’s proposal to bank the DNA of about 500,000 Britons – Howard
University’s initiative is unique. It proposes to collect and store the
DNA only of those who identify themselves as African-American.”
“ …conclusion: …some racial differences are encoded in the genes, and
those differences can make people of one skin color inherently more or
less susceptible to certain diseases than people whose complexion is
different. In short, in matters of health, it seems that race matters.
“ ..fair game [to] look into the genes for more controversial racial
divides in areas such as intelligence, criminality and addiction."
“..Rates of common chronic ailments such as heart disease, diabetes and
asthma are significantly higher among African-Americans than among non-
Hispanic whites”
Howard Univ. (in DC) expects $18 million funding.
