Cross-ancestry genetic architecture and prediction for cholesterol traits

2023-02-02

Abstract excerpt

While cholesterol is essential for human life, a high level of cholesterol is closely linked with the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have been successful to identify genetic variants associated with cholesterol, which have been conducted mostly in white European populations. Consequently, it remains mostly unknown how genetic effects on cholesterol vary across ancestries....
