Uncovering the genetic architecture and evolutionary roots of androgenetic alopecia in African men

This study identifies genetic associations and evolutionary factors underlying androgenetic alopecia in African men, showing poor generalization of European genetic predictions and continental differences in allele frequencies.

A custom genotyping array reveals population-level heterogeneity for the genetic risks of prostate cancer and other cancers in Africa

The paper develops a genotyping array tailored for African populations to identify cancer risk variants, finding population-specific allele frequency differences and lower prostate cancer risk in Senegal compared to Nigeria.

How genetic disease risks can be misestimated across global populations

This study identifies how genetic disease risks are misestimated across global populations due to differences in risk allele frequencies and biases in GWAS data.
