The genetic architecture of lipoprotein subclasses in Gullah-speaking African American families enriched for type 2 diabetes: The Sea Islands Genetic African American Registry (Project SuGAR) by Jasmin Divers, Michèle M. Sale, Lingyi Lu, Wei-Min Chen, Kerry H. Lok, Ida J. Spruill, Jyotika K. Fernandes, Carl D. Langefeld, W. Timothy Garvey

“…We sought to partition the genetic and environmental influences on lipoprotein subclasses and identify genomic regions that may harbor genetic variants that influence serum lipoprotein levels in a sample of Gullah-speaking African-Americans. We genotyped 5,974 SNPs in 979 subjects from 418 pedigrees and used the variance component approach to compute heritability estimates, genetic and environmental correlations, and linkage analyses for selected lipoprotein subclasses. …”

Trans-ancestral studies fine map the SLE-susceptibility locus TNFSF4. by Harinder Manku, Carl D Langefeld, Sandra G Guerra, Talat H Malik, Marta Alarcon-Riquelme, Juan-Manuel Anaya, Sang-Cheol Bae, Susan A Boackle, Elizabeth E Brown, Lindsey A Criswell, Barry I Freedman, Patrick M Gaffney, Peter A Gregersen, Joel M Guthridge, Sang-Hoon Han, John B Harley, Chaim O Jacob, Judith A James, Diane L Kamen, Kenneth M Kaufman, Jennifer A Kelly, Javier Martin, Joan T Merrill, Kathy L Moser, Timothy B Niewold, So-Yeon Park, Bernardo A Pons-Estel, Amr H Sawalha, R Hal Scofield, Nan Shen, Anne M Stevens, Celi Sun, Gary S Gilkeson, Jeff C Edberg, Robert P Kimberly, Swapan K Nath, Betty P Tsao, Tim J Vyse

“…Using a trans-ancestral approach to fine-map the locus, utilising 17,900 SLE and control subjects including Amerindian/Hispanics (1348 cases, 717 controls), African-Americans (AA) (1529, 2048) and better powered cohorts of Europeans and East Asians, we find strong association of risk alleles in all ethnicities; the AA association replicates in African-American Gullah (152,122). The best evidence of association comes from two adjacent markers: rs2205960-T (P=1.71 × 10(-34) , OR=1.43[1.26-1.60]) and rs1234317-T (P=1.16 × 10(-28) , OR=1.38[1.24-1.54]). …”
