Genome-wide study investigating effector genes and polygenic prediction for kidney function in persons with ancestry from Africa and the Americas
22 Dec 2023
Abstract excerpt
Chronic kidney disease is a leading cause of death and disability globally and impacts individuals of African ancestry (AFR) or with ancestry in the Americas (AMS) who are under-represented in genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of kidney function. To address this bias, we conducted a large meta-analysis of GWASs of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in 145,732 AFR and AMS individuals. We identified...
