摘要：
Despite recent efforts to increase diversity in genome-wide association studies (GWASs), most loci currently associated with kidney function are still limited to European ancestry due to the underlying sample selection bias in available GWASs. We set out to identify susceptibility loci associated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcrea) in 80027 individuals of African-ancestry from the UK Biobank (UKBB), Million Veteran Program (MVP), and Chronic Kidney Disease genetics (CKDGen) consortia.
