The paper identifies CR1 variants as a risk factor for FSGS across diverse populations through a case-control study and variant analysis.

This study uses mouse models to show that fetal APOL1-G1 variants cause preeclampsia by inducing pro-inflammatory responses in placental and maternal monocyte cells.

The paper shows the APOL1 p.N264K variant reduces the risk of FSGS and kidney disease in individuals with G2 APOL1 risk alleles.

This study examines the association between alpha globin gene copy number and ischemic stroke risk in Black Americans, finding no significant association.

The paper analyzes ancestry in Latin Americans using haplotype-based methods, finding widespread Converso ancestry and links between Native ancestry and facial features.

This paper uses whole-exome sequencing to identify genetic markers for hypouricemia and shows that screening two SNPs can detect 87.7% of cases.

This study identifies genetic variants associated with bronchodilator drug response in African Americans with asthma, finding both population-specific and shared genetic factors across African American and Latino populations.

This study identifies pharmacogenetic variants associated with albuterol bronchodilator response in minority children with asthma using whole genome sequencing.
