The impact of evolutionary processes in shaping the genetics of complex traits in East Asia and Europe: a specific contribution from Denisovan and Neanderthal introgression

2021-08-13

Abstract excerpt

Evidence of how human evolution shaped the polygenicity of human traits and diseases has been extensively studied in populations of European descent. However, limited information is currently available about its impact on other ancestry groups. Here, we investigated how different evolutionary processes affected the common variant heritability of traits and diseases in East Asians. Leveraging genome-wide associatio...
