How genetic disease risks can be misestimated across global populations

2017-09-28

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Accurate assessment of health disparities requires unbiased knowledge of genetic risks in different populations. Unfortunately, most genome-wide association studies use genotyping arrays and European samples. Here, we integrate whole genome sequence data from global populations, results from thousands of GWAS, and extensive computer simulations to identify how genetic disease risks can be mise...
