	60	+=== **Key Statistics** ===
	61	+
	62	+1. **General Observations:**
	63	+ - A near-perfect alignment between self-identified race/ethnicity (SIRE) and genetic ancestry was observed.
	64	+ - Misclassification rate: **0.14%**.
	65	+
	66	+2. **Subgroup Analysis:**
	67	+ - Four groups analyzed: **White, African American, East Asian, and Hispanic**.
	68	+ - Hispanic genetic clusters showed significant European and Native American lineage.
	69	+
	70	+=== **Findings** ===
	71	+
	72	+- Self-identified race strongly aligns with genetic ancestry.
	73	+- Minor discrepancies exist but do not significantly impact classification.
	74	+
	75	+=== **Relevance to Subproject** ===
	76	+
	77	+- Reinforces the reliability of **self-reported racial identity** in genetic research.
	78	+- Highlights **policy considerations** in biomedical studies.
