Abstract excerpt
How ancestry-associated genetic variance affects disparities in the risk of polygenic diseases and influences the identification of disease-associated genes warrants a deeper understanding. We hypothesized that the discovery of genes associated with polygenic diseases may be limited by the overreliance on single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based genomic investigation, as most significant variants identified in...
