This study investigates the impact of Indigenous American-like ancestry on acute lymphoblastic leukemia risk in Hispanic/Latino children, finding no global association but significant local haplotype effects.

This study evaluates polygenic score models for anthropometric traits and Type II Diabetes in Native Hawaiians, finding reduced accuracy compared to European- or East Asian-ancestry populations.

This paper introduces HAMSTA, a method to estimate heritability from admixture mapping summary statistics while adjusting for ancestral stratification bias, and applies it to African American datasets.

This study identifies five novel genetic loci associated with childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia through a trans-ethnic meta-analysis across four ethnic groups.

This study investigates the association between Polynesian genetic ancestry and cardiometabolic traits in Native Hawaiians, finding increased risks for diabetes, heart failure, and BMI, but limited replication of a T2D-associated chr6 variant.
