TL;DR: A genome-wide linkage analysis of type 2 diabetes in a cohort of 343 affected sibling pairs in West Africa, where diabetes is less common than in the U.S, found suggestive evidence of linkage in four regions on three chromosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low HDL-cholesterol with normal triglyceride levels is the most common lipid pattern in West Africans and African Americans with Metabolic Syndrome: Implications for cardiovascular disease prevention
Anne E. Sumner,Jie Zhou,Ayo P. Doumatey,Omoye E. Imoisili,Albert G.B. Amoah,Joseph Acheampong,Johnnie Oli,Thomas Johnson,Clement Adebamowo,Charles N. Rotimi +9 more
TL;DR: Elevated triglyceride levels were uncommon in both WA and AA with MetSyn, and caution is warranted in diagnosing MetSyn in WA, the ancestral population of AA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Charles N. Rotimi,Harold I. Daniel,Jie Zhou,Obisesan A,Chen G,Yuanxiu Chen,Albert G.B. Amoah,Opoku,Joseph Acheampong,Kofi Agyenim-Boateng,Benjamin A.

TL;DR: The low prevalence of retinopathy and cataracts observed within the first 5 years of diagnosis of diabetes in this cohort, suggests that intensive blood glucose control may reduce the risk of the development and progression of retInopathy andCataracts.
