Genes with differential expression across ancestries are enriched in ancestry-specific disease effects likely due to gene-by-environment interactions
Multi-ancestry genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have highlighted the existence of
variants with ancestry-specific effect sizes. Understanding where and why these ancestry …
