Global Biobank Meta-analysis Initiative: powering genetic discovery across human diseases

2021-11-21

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Biobanks are being established across the world to understand the genetic, environmental, and epidemiological basis of human diseases with the goal of better prevention and treatments. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been very successful at mapping genomic loci for a wide range of human diseases and traits, but in general, lack appropriate representation of diverse ancestries - with mo...
