Deciphering the Genomic Architecture of Three Major Cancers in African-Ancestry Populations

2025-12-22

Abstract excerpt

Genomic studies of cancer risk have disproportionately focused on populations of European ancestry, limiting biological insight and risk prediction in African-ancestry populations that experience a high burden of disease. Here, we analysed breast, colorectal, and prostate cancers in African-ancestry participants from the UK Biobank using ancestry-aware genome-wide association studies (GWAS), SNP-based heritability...
