Whole-genome Studies of Malagasy People Uncover Novel Body Composition Associations

2023-11-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> The majority of human genomic research studies have been conducted in European ancestry cohorts, at the loss of detecting potentially novel and globally impactful findings. Here, we present the first whole genome sequence data and genome-wide association study in a cohort of 264 Malagasy individuals from three locations on the island of Madagascar. We describe genetic variation in this Malagasy c...
