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.

This study expands the human gut microbiome atlas of Africa by analyzing 1,803 women from four countries, revealing geographic and lifestyle-associated taxa and novel microbial genomes.

This study conducts a GWAS on urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio in Sub-Saharan African and non-resident African-ancestry populations, identifying two genome-wide significant loci and highlighting limited transferability of polygenic scores across populations.

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