BBJ — Cross-population atlas of 220 phenotypes

GWAS Cross-population Trans-ancestry
PUBMED_LINK
34594039
STAGE_PERIOD
2021
DESCRIPTION
Cross-population GWAS atlas integrating BBJ, UK Biobank, and FinnGen for 220 phenotypes. Identified thousands of novel loci through trans-ancestry meta-analysis, improving fine-mapping resolution with diverse ancestry. BBJ was critical for East Asian representation.

BBJ — Quantitative traits GWAS

GWAS Quantitative Traits Cross-population
PUBMED_LINK
29403010
STAGE_PERIOD
2018
DESCRIPTION
Large-scale GWAS of 58 quantitative traits in up to 148,000 Japanese individuals. Identified 585 trait-associated loci, 118 of which were novel. Demonstrated cell-type-specific gene expression mediation and genetic correlations between Japanese and European populations.
