Evaluation of the Contribution of Natural Selection to Greater Cardiometabolic Disease Risk in South Asian Populations

2026-05-22

Abstract excerpt

A greater genetic susceptibility has been proposed as an explanation of the greater rates of cardiovascular and metabolic disease in South Asian relative to European populations. We first demonstrate that after accounting for technical artefacts the genetic effects for related traits are largely consistent between ancestral groups, which downplays the role of GxG or GxE interactions driving differential prevalence...
