Machine learning derived retinal pigment score from ophthalmic imaging shows ethnicity is not biology

Abstract Few metrics exist to describe phenotypic diversity within ophthalmic imaging datasets, with researchers often using ethnicity as a surrogate marker for biological variability. We derived a continuous, measured metric, the retinal pigment score (RPS), that quantifies the degree of pigmentati...
