It would be significantly more remarkable if it wasn't!

"...compositions and methods are provided for inferring an individual's response to commonly used medications, which, remarkably, is a function of individual ancestry;"

Individual response's to medications (at least those that are genetically based) is what personalized medicine is all about. That the secrets to those responses resides in the individuals genetic code is also one of the foundations of the science. It is not a secret to anyone with a smidgeon of awareness that we inherit our genetic makeup from our forebearers. To find it 'remarkable' that the genetic differences that define us are the result of the genetic contributions of our ancestors seems a bit absurd.
