Genetic association analysis highlights new loci that modulate hematological trait variation in Caucasians and African Americans
AssociationN=30,551Ken Sin Lo et al.(2011)· Human Genetics
Genetic association study in 23,439 Caucasians and 7,112 African Americans identified novel loci modulating hematological traits. G6PD rs1050828 (Val68Met) shows strong association with red blood cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and mean corpuscular volume in African Americans (P < 2.0 × 10^−13), while TPM4 rs8109288 associates with platelet count in both Caucasians and African Americans (P = 3.0 × 10^−7). HBA2-HBA1 rs1211375 associates with red blood cell traits specifically in African Americans (P < 7 × 10^−8). Study replicated 36 previously reported associations and highlights ethnic differences in genetic architecture of blood traits.
