The paper identifies ancestry-specific functional variants of HBZ associated with increased risk of triple-negative breast cancer in African-ancestry populations.

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

The paper analyzes genetic diversity in the All of Us Research Program, showing that self-identified race and ethnicity groups exhibit continuous genetic variation rather than discrete clusters, with implications for genetic association studies.

This paper conducts a GWAS in Africans to identify novel lipid loci and finds 23 novel associations, with some replicating in African Americans and additional loci emerging from meta-analysis.

This study evaluates genetic risk scores for cardiometabolic traits in sub-Saharan Africans, African Americans, and European Americans, finding significantly lower predictive utility in sub-Saharan Africans.

The paper identifies a novel type 2 diabetes locus, ZRANB3, in sub-Saharan Africans and shows its potential role in beta cell proliferation through zebrafish studies.

This study identifies novel asthma susceptibility loci in individuals of African ancestry through genome-wide association analysis and admixture mapping.
