Uncovering the genetic architecture and evolutionary roots of androgenetic alopecia in African men

Rohini Janivara, Ujani Hazra, Aaron Pfennig, Maxine S. Harlemon, Michelle S. Kim, Muthukrishnan Eaaswarkhanth, Wenlong Carl Chen, Adebola Olufunmilayo Ogunbiyi, Paidamoyo Kachambwa, Lindsay N. Petersen, Mohamed Jalloh, James Edward Mensah, Andrew A. Adjei, Ben Adusei, Maureen Joffe, , Joseph Lachance

This study identifies genetic associations and evolutionary factors underlying androgenetic alopecia in African men, showing poor generalization of European genetic predictions and continental differences in allele frequencies.

A custom genotyping array reveals population-level heterogeneity for the genetic risks of prostate cancer and other cancers in Africa

Maxine S. Harlemon, Olabode Ajayi, Paidamoyo Kachambwa, Michelle S. Kim, Corinne Simonti, Melanie H. Quiver, Desiree C. Petersen, Anuradha Mittal, Pedro W. Fernandez, Ann W. Hsing, Shakuntala Baichoo, Ilir Agalliu, Mohamed Jalloh, Sérigne Maguèye Gueye, Nana Yaa Snyper, , Joseph Lachance

The paper develops a genotyping array tailored for African populations to identify cancer risk variants, finding population-specific allele frequency differences and lower prostate cancer risk in Senegal compared to Nigeria.
