KidneyGenAfrica: A multi-cohort Genome-wide association study and polygenic prediction of kidney function in 110,000 continental and diasporan Africans

2024-12-19

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> <bold>Background:</bold> Kidney disease is more prevalent in populations of African ancestry, yet most genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for kidney function markers have been performed in Europeans. To discover additional loci in individuals of African ancestry, we assembled 10 GWASs of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) across diverse African regions, including ~26...
