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.

The Uganda Genome Resource provides a genomic database for studying disease susceptibility and risk factors in Ugandan populations, with applications in discovering genetic loci, refining associations, and developing polygenic risk scores.

This study conducts the first GWAS of eGFR in Africans, identifies two genome-wide significant loci, and highlights the need for more African-specific genetic research on kidney function.

This study assesses the transferability of lipid loci across African, Asian, and European populations, finding high consistency but also population-specific variations.
