GWAS in Africans identifies novel lipids loci and demonstrates heterogenous association within Africa

2020-10-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Serum lipids are biomarkers of cardiometabolic disease risk, and understanding the genomic factors contributing to their distribution has been of considerable interest. Large genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified over 150 lipids loci; however, GWAS of Africans (AF) are rare. Given the genomic diversity among those of African ancestry, it is expected that a GWAS in Africans cou...
