Multi-ancestry polygenic risk scores for the prediction of type 2 diabetes and complications in diverse ancestries.

This paper develops and validates multi-ancestry polygenic risk scores for type 2 diabetes prediction and complications across diverse populations.

Large-Scale Gene-Smoking Interactions and Fine Mapping Study Identifies Multiple Novel Blood Pressure Loci in over 1 Million Individuals

This study identifies twelve novel blood pressure loci and shows smoking modifies genetic effects on BP through immune-related pathways in over 1 million individuals.

Multi-ancestry genome-wide study in >2.5 million individuals reveals heterogeneity in mechanistic pathways of type 2 diabetes and complications

This study identifies 1,289 genetic signals for type 2 diabetes in 2.5 million individuals, revealing distinct clusters linked to vascular complications and highlighting ancestry-specific genetic risk factors.

Trans-ancestry genetic study of type 2 diabetes highlights the power of diverse populations for discovery and translation

This study identifies 277 T2D loci using diverse populations and improves fine-mapping to assess causal genes and mechanisms, enhancing clinical translation.
