Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies in African Americans provides insights into the genetic architecture of type 2 diabetes.

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies in African Americans provides insights into the genetic architecture of type 2 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is more prevalent in African Americans than in Europeans. However, little is known about the genetic risk in African Americans despite the recent identification of more than 70 T2D loci primarily by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in individuals of European ancestry. In...
