Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The genetic mechanisms underlying hydrocephalus (HC) risk and pathogenesis are diverse and complex. Although many human genetics studies of HC have been performed in European ancestry cohorts, the extent to which these genetic mechanisms are conserved in African ancestral populations is not known. In this study, we apply integrative human genetics and functional genomics approaches to...
