Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies in African Americans provides insights into the genetic architecture of type 2 diabetes. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is more prevalent in African Americans than in Europeans. However, little is known about the genetic risk in African Americans despite the recent identification of more than 70 T2D loci primarily by genome-wide association studies ...

Ethnic and smoking associated DNA methylation changes at HIV co-receptor GPR15
Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2015 Smoking is associated with poorer health outcomes for both African and European Americans. In order to better understand whether ethnic specific genetic variation may underlie some of these differences, we contrasted the smoking associated genome-wide ...

Parkinson’s Disease in African Americans: A Review of the Current Literature
Journal of Parkinson’s Disease, 2020 Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, though evidence suggests that this disorder does not affect all racial groups similarly. Research in African Americans, in particular, has been conflicting.

Misconceptions of Depression in African Americans [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2014 Major depression is a very common disabling disorder. Although the relationship between race and depression is complex, depression affects all races, all ethnic and geographic locations as well as all age groups. The prevalence of depression in African Americans is controversial, due to the paucity of research.

Perspectives on the impact of painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy in a multicultural population
Clinical Diabetes and Endocrinology, 2017 Background Since few studies have characterized painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (pDPN) symptoms in multicultural populations, this study fielded a survey to better understand pDPN and its impact in African-American, Caucasian, and Hispanic ...

Common variation in vitamin D pathway genes predicts circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D Levels among African Americans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Vitamin D is implicated in a wide range of health outcomes, and although environmental predictors of vitamin D levels are known, the genetic drivers of vitamin D status remain to be clarified.
