The paper develops pathway-specific polygenic risk scores for hypertension in a West African cohort, finding improved predictive power compared to baseline models.

This paper presents a blood regulatory variation map from Southern African populations, showing increased utility for interpreting African genetic studies.

Admix-kit provides tools for genetic analysis of admixed populations, enabling simulation, association testing, and polygenic scoring.

This study identifies 118 candidate causal genes and 21 novel lipid loci on the X chromosome through a multi-ancestry meta-analysis of blood lipid levels, revealing sex-biased effects and pleiotropy with cardiovascular and hormonal traits.

This study identifies genetic variants associated with smoking initiation and cessation in men of African ancestry, highlighting underrepresented populations in genetic research.

This paper integrates GWAS data with functional genomic datasets to identify regulatory mechanisms and causal genes underlying lipid-related traits.

The paper analyzes G6PD variant distribution in sub-Saharan Africa and highlights potential risks of using chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 due to G6PD deficiency.

This study investigates genetic substructure and demographic history of South African Bantu speakers using genome-wide data, revealing fine-scale population structure aligned with geography and linguistics.

The paper identifies a West African-associated regulatory variant with a strong female-specific effect on BMI and fat mass in Brazilian admixed populations.
