This study links plasma proteome data to genetics in Ugandan individuals, identifying novel pQTLs and proteins causally associated with type 2 diabetes.

This study shows that K2EDTA tubes allow stable insulin and C-peptide measurements at room temperature for up to 24 hours without immediate centrifugation.

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.
