Identifying the ancestry of chromosomal segments of distinct ancestry has a wide range of
applications from disease mapping to learning about history. Most methods require the use …

Genome-wide association studies have revolutionised the genetic analysis of multiple
sclerosis. Through international collaborative efforts involving tens of thousands of cases …

The increased burden of chronic kidney and end-stage kidney diseases (ESKD) in
populations of African ancestry has been largely unexplained. To identify genetic variants …

Quantifying patterns of population structure in Africans and African Americans illuminates
the history of human populations and is critical for undertaking medical genomic studies on …

The genome of an admixed individual represents a mixture of alleles from different
ancestries. In the United States, the two largest minority groups, African‐Americans and …

As end-stage renal disease (ESRD) has a four times higher incidence in African Americans
compared to European Americans, we hypothesized that susceptibility alleles for ESRD …

To provide a resource for assessing continental ancestry in a wide variety of genetic studies,
we identified, validated, and characterized a set of 128 ancestry informative markers (AIMs) …

To the Editor: In the September 2007 issue of The Journal, Tang et al. analyzed data from
192 Puerto Ricans genotyped at 112,584 autosomal markers and identified three regions …

In this review, we focus on the biogeographical distribution of genetic variation and address
whether or not populations cluster according to the popular concept of'race'. We show that …

The large and diverse population of Latin America is potentially a powerful resource for
elucidating the genetic basis of complex traits through admixture mapping. However, no …
