Call to grow neuropsychiatry genetics research in Africa

Original: Neuropsychiatry genetics in Africa

Nature has published a piece on neuropsychiatry genetics in Africa, highlighting the state of genetic research into mental and neurological disorders across the continent. The discussion centres on why African populations remain underrepresented in genomic studies of conditions like schizophrenia, depression and epilepsy, and what is needed to build local research capacity, data resources and infrastructure so genetic discoveries can benefit African patients.

Why now: New Nature coverage is drawing attention to the underrepresentation of African populations in neuropsychiatric genetics research.
