Highlighting the importance of diverse populations in genetic studies: We identified ancestry-specific variation that controls gene expression and developed improved #TWAS models in a large, diverse cohort in our newest #TOPMed@NatureGenet paper https://t.co/pOlqF9047n
My mother had Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD). What race would you use for determining lung function. Is she black, white, Mexican or neither?”

Asthma biologics are a revolution of science and medicine, but not everyone shares in the benefits. We showed population-specific differences in eligibility for biomarker-driven asthma biologic therapy. https://t.co/omsWBT1OoV
Check out our newest paper where we examine the influence of genetic ancestry on the fit of racial/ethnic-based spirometry reference equations in populations of genetically admixed children!!
