Whole genome sequencing in the Middle Eastern Qatari population identifies genetic associations with 45 clinically relevant traits

Whole genome sequencing in the Middle Eastern Qatari population identifies genetic associations with 45 clinically relevant traits

The genetic basis for traits can vary between populations. Here the authors report a genome wide association study with 45 clinically-relevant traits in individuals from Qatar, replicating many known loci and identifying new Qatari-predominant signals.
