Genome-wide association study identifying novel risk variants associated with glycaemic traits in the continental African AWI-Gen cohort

1 Mar 2025

Abstract excerpt

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Glycaemic traits such as high fasting glucose levels and insulin resistance are positively associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes and other cardiometabolic diseases. Genetic association studies have identified hundreds of associations for each glycaemic trait, yet very few studies have involved continental African populations. We report the results of genome-wide association studies (GWASs)...
