Genetic Differences between the Determinants of Lipid Profile Phenotypes in African and European Americans: The Jackson Heart Study
Genome-wide association analysis in populations of European descent has recently found more than a hundred genetic variants affecting risk for common disease. An open question, however, is how relevant the variants discovered in Europeans are to other populations. To address this problem for cardiovascular phenotypes, we studied a cohort of 4,464 African Americans from the Jackson Heart Study (...
متن کاملMeta-Analysis of Genome-Wide Association Studies Identifies Genetic Risk Factors for Stroke in African Americans.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The majority of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of stroke have focused on European-ancestry populations; however, none has been conducted in African Americans, despite the disproportionately high burden of stroke in this population. The Consortium of Minority Population Genome-Wide Association Studies of Stroke (COMPASS) was established to identify stroke susceptib...
متن کاملGenome-wide trans-ancestry meta-analysis provides insight into the genetic architecture of type 2 diabetes susceptibility
The majority of GWAS of T2D susceptibility have been undertaken in populations of European ancestry1–5, predominantly because of existing infrastructure, sample availability and relatively poor coverage by many of the earliest genome-wide genotyping arrays of common genetic variation in other major ethnic groups6. However, populations of European ancestry constitute only a subset of human genet...
متن کاملAncestry variation and footprints of natural selection along the genome in Latin American populations
Latin American populations stem from the admixture of Europeans, Africans and Native Americans, which started over 400 years ago and had lasted for several centuries. Extreme deviation over the genome-wide average in ancestry estimations at certain genomic locations could reflect recent natural selection. We evaluated the distribution of ancestry estimations using 678 genome-wide microsatellite...
متن کاملMultiethnic Genetic Association Studies Improve Power for Locus Discovery
To date, genome-wide association studies have focused almost exclusively on populations of European ancestry. These studies continue with the advent of next-generation sequencing, designed to systematically catalog and test low-frequency variation for a role in disease. A complementary approach would be to focus further efforts on cohorts of multiple ethnicities. This leverages the idea that po...
