Uncovering the role of admixture in disease and drug response: Association of hepatocyte gene expression and DNA methylation with African Ancestry in African Americans

2018-12-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> African Americans (AAs) are an admixed population with portions of their genome derived from West Africans and Europeans. In AAs, the proportion of West African ancestry (WAA) can vary widely and may explain the genetic drivers of disease, specifically those that disproportionately affect this understudied population. To examine the relationship between the proportion of WAA...
