Genetic predisposition plays a crucial role in the health of Caucasians. For example:
BRCA1 and BRCA2 Mutations: These genetic mutations increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer, and are more prevalent among Ashkenazi Jews, a subgroup of Caucasians. APOE ε4 Allele: Associated with higher risk of Alzheimer's disease in Caucasians. HLA-DR and DQ Genes: Linked to Type 1 Diabetes, more frequently found in Caucasians.
