Multi-ancestry GWAS can increase power and precision, but how should we analyze them? Pooled or stratified? We answer that question in a paper out today in AJHG, led by Julie Dias and Haoyu Zhang. 1/7 www.cell.com/ajhg/fulltex...
Evaluating multi-ancestry genome-wide association methods: Statistical power, population structure, and practical implications
Multi-ancestry GWASs enhance discovery in diverse populations, but optimal methods remain debated. Using theory, simulations, and analyses from the UK Biobank and All of Us, we show that pooled analys...

I presented the latest CARDIoGRAMplusC4D work at IGES today. It was very well received, and I had many stimulating discussions on both methods and results. A great moment — and also a pleasure to meet old friends and enjoy the conference atmosphere.

A new study has identified three different genetic mechanisms linked to different stroke risks. The results could enable more tailored approaches to treatment of those with irregular heartbeats. Read more on our website 👉 www.ndph.ox.ac.uk/news/study-l...
Study links different genetic pathways causing irregular heartbeats to different risks of stroke
A new study led by researchers at Oxford Population Health has established that different biological mechanisms underlying atrial fibrillation, a common heart disorder, result in different characteris...
