Implication of European-derived adiposity loci in African Americans.

Text

LD in European-derived, but not in African-derived populations, due to differences in LD structure. This feature of African-derived genomes may facilitate identification of the true risk variant. We have recently used such an approach to strongly implicate a single SNP as the risk variant in the TCF7L2 diabetes gene.47
