In humans, most genome-wide association studies have been conducted using data from Caucasians and many of the reported findings have not replicated in other populations. This lack of replication may be due to statistical issues (small sample sizes or confounding) or perhaps more fundamentally to differences in the genetic architecture of traits between ethnically diverse subpopulations. What aspects of the...
