Nat Genet. 2020 Jan;52(1):17-20. doi: 10.1038/s41588-019-0542-4.

Abstract

Ancestral and geographical issues underlie the need to develop Africa-specific guidelines for the return of genomic research results in Africa. In this Commentary, we outline the challenges that will inform policies and practices moving forward.
