Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify genetic variants enriched in Southwest American Indian (SWAI) individuals that associate with BMI. METHODS: Whole genome sequencing data (n = 296) were used to identify potentially functional variants that are common in SWAI individuals (minor allele frequency ≥10%) but rare in other ethnic groups (minor allele frequency < 0.1%). Enriched variants were tested for...
