Unifying population structure and relatedness analysis through a coalescent approach

Diego M. Véliz-Otani, Víctor Borda, Heinner Guio…·Timothy D. O’Connor

This paper introduces a coalescent-based framework to unify population structure and relatedness analysis, showing that full GRMs can replace PCs for modeling genetic covariance.

Dissecting the role of Amerindian genetic ancestry and ApoE ε4 allele on Alzheimer disease in an admixed Peruvian population

Maria Victoria Marca-Ysabel, Farid Rajabli, Mario Cornejo‐Olivas…·Margaret Ann Pericak‐Vance

This study examines the association between ApoE ε4 allele and Alzheimer's disease in a Peruvian population with high Amerindian ancestry, finding a stronger risk effect compared to non-Hispanic White populations.
