Abstract excerpt
The increasing availability of diverse biobanks has enabled multi-ancestry genome-wide association studies (GWASs) to enhance the discovery of genetic variants across traits and diseases. However, the choice of an optimal method remains debated, due to challenges in statistical power differences across ancestral groups and approaches to account for population structure. Two primary strategies exist: (1) pooled...
