Head of the Department of Medicine and Therapeutics at the University of Ghana Medical School, Vincent Boima, says research has found that Akans are more likely to carry high-risk gene variants linked to kidney disease compared to Gas and Ewes in Ghana.

Speaking after his inaugural lecture titled “From Genes to Minds: Holistic Pathways to Precision Kidney Care in Africa,” he noted that similar ethnic disparities have also been observed in Nigeria.
