Multi-ancestry meta-analysis of asthma identifies novel associations and highlights the value of increased power and diversity

2021-12-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Asthma is a complex disease that affects millions of people and varies in prevalence by an order of magnitude across geographic regions and populations. However, the extent to which genetic variation contributes to these disparities is unclear, as studies probing the genetics of asthma have been primarily limited to populations of European (EUR) descent. As part of the Global Biobank Meta-analysis...
