This study identifies Parkinson's disease susceptibility variants in a South African cohort using GWAS and local ancestry analysis, highlighting ancestry-specific genetic risk factors.

This study confirms an association between HLA-II region variants and TB susceptibility in admixed South African samples using the LAAA model.

This study identifies ancestry-specific eQTLs in TB-T2D patients using cis-eQTL mapping, revealing variants associated with gene expression that could guide therapeutic targets in African populations.

The paper evaluates the performance of the LAAA model in detecting causal variants in complex admixed southern African populations and recommends using multiple GWAS models.
