Genome admixture analysis of 1,030 Ugandan infants with neonatal sepsis and hydrocephalus demonstrates geographical stratification of population disease risk

2026-03-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Neonatal disorders such as post-infectious hydrocephalus exhibit a higher incidence in Africa, where the intricate relationships between genetic ancestry, environmental exposures, and other risk factors likely contribute to the increased incidence. <h4>Methods</h4> To start to characterize the common genetic architecture of Ugandan infants, we analyzed genome sequencing data from 1,030 Uganda...
