Evolutionary context for the association of γ-globin, serum uric acid, and hypertension in African Americans
BACKGROUND: Hyperuricemia and associated cardio-metabolic disorders are more prevalent in African Americans than in European Americans. We used genome-wide admixture mapping and association testing to identify loci with ancestry effects on serum uric acid levels. METHODS: We analyzed 1,976 African A...
