I just signed up. Thank you so much.

🔍 Why does this matter?
Most psychiatric GWAS are still Euro-centric, limiting the relevance of genetic findings across populations and ancestries. Latin America’s rich genetic, environmental, and cultural diversity presents a unique opportunity to refine genetic discovery & improve global research

In this review, we:
🌎 Examine the current state of psychiatric genetic studies in the region
💰 Highlight key challenges in data generation, analysis, & funding
🧬 Showcase emerging opportunities for more representative genomic research
🤝 Call for greater collaboration & investment

👏 Huge thanks to all our amazing LAGC collaborators! Special shoutout to Estela Bruxel and Diego Rovaris for leading this crucial work, and of course @janitzamontalvo.bsky.social and @giustilab.bsky.social for co-founding the LAGC and co-leading alongside myself. 💪
