TL;DR: It is suggested that BP loci might have universal effects across studied populations, demonstrating that multiethnic samples are an essential component in identifying, fine mapping, and understanding their trait variability.

Jolaade Kalinowski,Yunfeng Huang,Martín A. Rivas,Veronica Barcelona,Michelle L. Wright,Cindy A. Crusto,Tanya M. Spruill,Yan V. Sun,Jacquelyn Y. Taylor +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors conducted an epigenome-wide study evaluating the relationship of psychosocial stress and DNA methylation among African American mothers from the Intergenerational Impact of Genetic and Psychological Factors on Blood Pressure (InterGEN) cohort.
Comparative genome-wide association studies of a depressive symptom phenotype in a repeated measures setting by race/ethnicity in the multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis
Erin B. Ware,Bhramar Mukherjee,Yan V. Sun,Ana V. Diez-Roux,Sharon L.R. Kardia,Jennifer A. Smith +5 more
TL;DR: This study uses genome-wide association studies of depressive symptoms in a longitudinal framework and across multiple ethnicities to find common variants for depressive symptoms to enhance the detection of genetic predictors by repeated measures analyses.
