Gene-based sequencing identifies lipid-influencing variants with ethnicity-specific effects in African Americans.

Gene-based sequencing identifies lipid-influencing variants with ethnicity-specific effects in African Americans.

Although a considerable proportion of serum lipids loci identified in European ancestry individuals (EA) replicate in African Americans (AA), interethnic differences in the distribution of serum lipids suggest that some genetic determinants differ by ethnicity. We conducted a comprehensive evaluatio...
