Trans-ethnic and ancestry-specific blood-cell genetics in 746,667 individuals from 5 global populations

2020-01-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Most loci identified by GWAS have been found in populations of European ancestry (EA). In trans-ethnic meta-analyses for 15 hematological traits in 746,667 participants, including 184,535 non-EA individuals, we identified 5,552 trait-variant associations at P <5×10 −9 , including 71 novel loci not found in EA populations. We also identified novel ancestry-specific variants not found in EA, incl...
