Personal Genomics Open Access Datasets Even More European-Biased Than Scientific Literature?

Summary:

"These factors may have a significant effect in deepening the population bias we observe, reflected in the different attitudes towards performing DTC genetic testing and making one’s own personal genotype freely available for download. If any inference were to be made from this rather small population sample, it is that the ethnic bias shown by [1] is even more accentuated in the open access 23andMe datasets, with hardly any representation from populations other than the European. Is this thus an indication that personal genomics is even more European-biased than the scientific literature?"
