Harnessing DNA Methylation Variation Between Populations to Understand Disease Discordance Across Ancestries
REFNo: HS6352ES
i. Create a comprehensive mQTL resource: We aim to expand the diversity of methylation quantitative trait loci (mQTL) resources by incorporating genetic data from underrepresented populations, including Africa. The study will compare genetic architecture and selection signatures across populations and use mQTLs as instruments to identify causal relationships between DNA methylation (DNAm), genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) signals.
ii. Conduct multi-ancestry epigenetic analyses: We aim to explore disease discordance mechanisms between populations by conducting multi-ancestry EWAS with a focus on cardiometabolic and blood cell phenotypes. This will include cell-type-specific EWAS and variance EWAS analyses to understand differences across global populations.
iii. Improve disease and exposure prediction models: We will refine existing predictors of disease risk or exposure (such as smoking and alcohol use) by including data from multi-ancestry participants. This approach will help develop predictive models that are either generalizable across populations or optimized for specific ancestries.
iv. Form equitable partnerships: The study will foster global collaboration through co-developed training resources and shared analytical tools, ensuring that the research benefits a wide range of stakeholders across various regions
