Abstract excerpt
In this study, we generated and integrated plasma proteomics and metabolomics with the genotype datasets of over 2300 European (EUR) and 400 African (AFR) ancestries to identify ancestry-specific multi-omics quantitative trait loci (QTLs). In total, we mapped 954 AFR pQTLs, 2848 EUR pQTLs, 65 AFR mQTLs, and 490 EUR mQTLs. We further applied these QTLs to ancestry-stratified type-2 diabetes (T2D) risk to pinpoint...
