Large scale genome-wide association study in a Japanese population identified 45 novel susceptibility loci for 22 diseases

2019-10-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH</h4> The overwhelming majority of participants in current genetic studies are of European ancestry 1–3 , limiting our genetic understanding of complex disease in non-European populations. To address this, we aimed to elucidate polygenic disease biology in the East Asian population by conducting a genome-wide association study (GWAS) with 212,453 Japanese individuals across 42 diseases....
