Objective Systemic lupus erythematosus is a clinically heterogeneous autoimmune disease.
A number of genetic loci that increase lupus susceptibility have been established. This study …

Genetic association studies in admixed populations may be biased if individual ancestry
varies within the population and the phenotype of interest is associated with ancestry …

Circulating levels of inflammatory markers can predict cardiovascular disease risk. To
identify genes influencing the levels of these markers, we genotyped 1,343 single …

Admixture mapping extends to human populations the principles that underlie linkage
analysis of an experimental cross. For detecting genes that contribute to ethnic variation in …

The 11-M Madrid commuter train bombings of 2004 constituted the second biggest terrorist
attack to occur in Europe after Lockerbie, while the subsequent investigation became the …

The genetics of complex disease is entering a new and exciting era. The exponentially
growing knowledge and technological capabilities emerging from the human genome …

While genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have primarily examined populations of
European ancestry, more recent studies often involve additional populations, including …

We and others have identified several hundred ancestry informative markers (AIMs) with
large allele frequency differences between different major ancestral groups. For this study, a …
