Genetic variants associated with complex human diseases show wide variation across multiple populations.

Public health genomics - 1 Jan 2010

Adeyemo A, Rotimi C

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The wide use of genome wide association studies (GWAS) has led to the successful identification of multiple genetic susceptibility variants to several complex human diseases. Given the limited amount of data on genetic variation at these loci in populations of non-European origin, we investigated population variation among 11 population groups for loci showing strong and consistent association from...
