Discovery and fine-mapping of kidney function loci in first genome-wide association study in Africans

2020-06-10

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for kidney function have uncovered hundreds of risk loci, primarily in populations of European ancestry. We conducted the first GWAS of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in Africa in 3288 Ugandans and replicated the findings in 8224 African Americans. We identified two loci associated with eGFR at genome-wide significance (p<5×10 −8 ). The most significantly associ...
