Genetic analyses of diverse populations improves discovery for complex traits

Genevieve L. Wojcik, +90 more
- 27 Jun 2019 - 
TL;DR: The value of diverse, multi-ethnic participants in large-scale genomic studies is demonstrated and evidence of effect-size heterogeneity across ancestries for published GWAS associations, substantial benefits for fine-mapping using diverse cohorts and insights into clinical implications are shown.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exome sequencing reveals a high prevalence of BRCA1 and BRCA2 founder variants in a diverse population-based biobank.

TL;DR: Investigating BRCA1/2 prevalence and impact in the EHR-linked BioMe Biobank in New York City indicates a gap in knowledge about potential cancer-related variants in non-European populations, and suggests that genomic screening in diverse patient populations may be an effective tool to identify at-risk individuals.

TL;DR: The data shows strong evidence of effect-size heterogeneity across ancestries for published GWAS associations, substantial benefits for fine-mapping using diverse cohorts, and insights into clinical implications.
