PY - 2012 DA - 2012/09/21 TI - Transferability and Fine Mapping of genome-wide associated loci for lipids in African Americans JO - BMC Medical Genetics SP - 88 VL - 13 IS - 1 AB - A recent, large genome-wide association study (GWAS) of European ancestry individuals has identified multiple genetic variants influencing serum lipids. Studies of the transferability of these associations to African Americans remain few, an important limitation given interethnic differences in serum lipids and the disproportionate burden of lipid-associated metabolic diseases among African Americans.
