GWAS identifies genetic clusters of cardiometabolic risk factors in continental Africans

2023-11-01

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRFs) are a growing global health concern. Here, we set out to identify novel genetic loci associated with CMRFs in two continental African populations, Ugandans and South African Zulu’s. Thus, we conducted a multivariate meta-analysis with META-SCOPA; where six CMRFs comprising of waist circumference (WC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL...
