Estimates of West African Ancestry in African Americans Using Alleles of Iron-Related Genes HJV, SLC40A1, and TFR2.

Genetic testing and molecular biomarkers - 1 Feb 2022

Barton James C, Wiener Howard W, Acton Ronald T

Abstract excerpt

Background: Few studies have estimated African ancestry of African Americans (AA). In sub-Saharan West African (WA) Blacks, some nonancestral alleles of iron-related genes HJV, SLC40A1, and TFR2 are common, whereas in European Americans (EA) the same alleles are rare. These alleles have not been used to estimate WA Black ancestry in AA. Methods: We estimated WA Black ancestry in AA (M) using published HJV...
