Phenome-Wide Mendelian Randomization Identifying Circulating Proteins for Cardiovascular Traits in Populations of African Ancestry

Multiple lines of evidence were used to interrogate proteomic determinants of cardiometabolic diseases and traits in African-ancestry populations. We highlighted actionable circulating protein targets that could represent potential drug targets for cardiovascular diseases specific to populations with African ancestry.

Abstract

Multiple lines of evidence were used to interrogate proteomic determinants of cardiometabolic diseases and traits in African-ancestry populations. We highlighted actionable circulating protein targets that could represent potential drug targets for cardiovascular diseases specific to populations with African ancestry.
