Recessive and rare variant effects on common diseases and the immune cell transcriptome
… British South Asians with elevated rates of consanguinity and consequently, increased homozygosity, therefore making it a suitable cohort to study both recessive effects and LoFs. Little is known about recessive effects on common diseases. Therefore, we searched for common and rare variants …

The knowledge of basic genetic terms and available terminology in the South African Sotho languages
… as albinism and concepts such as inheritance and consanguinity. Participants highlighted how and when specific terms are used in their home languages and which terms were found to be offensive. Contrary to English, the Sotho-Pedi-Tswana language, like other indigenous South African languages, use …

The contribution of non-additive and longitudinal genetic effects to health and cognitive traits
… demonstrated that autozygosity resulting from consanguinity accounts for 8-15% of type 2 diabetes cases among British Pakistanis. Simulation studies indicated these associations likely stem from non-additive genetic architectures (e.g., recessive effects captured by autozygosity) rather than …
