This study identifies 86 T2D GWAS associations in 125,000 admixed Mexican adults, including 21 novel signals, and highlights the role of common regulatory variation in the endocrine pancreas.

The paper analyzes a Mexican FH cohort to show rare and common alleles in FH genes and a novel locus contribute to disease risk, with replication in UK Biobank.

This study evaluates polygenic risk score (PRS) performance across four ancestry groups for 14 diseases, finding that ancestry-specific PRS models improve accuracy and identifying cross-trait interactions.

The paper introduces msprime 1.0, a high-performance simulation tool for ancestry and mutation in population genetics, showing it is faster and more memory efficient than existing alternatives.

The paper uses genomic data to infer admixture dynamics in colonial Mexico, identifying the genetic legacy of the Manila Galleon trade route from Southeast Asia to Acapulco.
