From deserts to forests: sequencing of the giant forest hog completes the genomic history of the African Suids

This paper presents the first whole-genome data for the giant forest hog, revealing its evolutionary relationship with warthogs and significant genetic differentiation between populations.

Genetic regulation of the plasma proteome and its link to cardiometabolic disease in Greenlandic Inuit

This study identifies 251 genetic variants influencing plasma proteins in Greenlandic Inuit, revealing population-specific associations with cardiometabolic disease.

Type 2 diabetes polygenic risk score demonstrates context-dependent effects and associations with type 2 diabetes-related risk factors and complications across diverse populations

An LDLR missense variant poses high risk of familial hypercholesterolemia in 30% of Greenlanders and offers potential for early cardiovascular disease intervention

The paper investigates the impact of the LDLR p.G137S variant on metabolic health and cardiovascular disease risk in Greenlanders, finding it increases FH and cardiovascular disease risk in up to 30% of the population.
