Trans-ethnic and Ancestry-Specific Blood-Cell Genetics in 746,667 Individuals from 5 Global Populations
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
Most loci identified by GWASs have been found in populations of European ancestry (EUR). In trans-ethnic meta-analyses for 15 hematological traits in 746,667 participants, including 184,535 non-EUR individuals, we identified 5,552 trait-variant associations at p < 5 × 10-9, including 71 novel associations not found in EUR populations. We also identified 28 additional novel variants in ancestry-specific, non-EUR meta-analyses, including an IL7 missense variant in South Asians associated with lymphocyte count in vivo and IL-7 secretion levels in vitro. Fine-mapping prioritized variants annotated as functional and generated 95% credible sets that were 30% smaller when using the trans-ethnic as opposed to the EUR-only results. We explored the clinical significance and predictive value of trans-ethnic variants in multiple populations and compared genetic architecture and the effect of natural selection on these blood phenotypes between populations. Altogether, our results for hematological traits highlight the value of a more global representation of populations in genetic studies.

The locus on chromosome 13 is well-known for its association with blood cell traits and autoimmune diseases.
“This locus on chromosome 13 is well-known for its association with blood cell traits and autoimmune diseases [40][41][42]”
From Plasma proteomic associations with genetics and health in the UK Biobank (2023) · cites this paper as [40]
The Results sections discuss blood-cell trait loci and immune-related diseases, but the passages found do not identify a chromosome 13 locus associated with both. Searches for “chromosome 13,” “13q14,” and autoimmune-disease associations did not establish the claim about this specific locus. (LLM, conf=0.72)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredPopulation-based genetic variation has largely been studied for blood cell traits, and over ten thousand loci have been defined across the allelic spectrum that explain inter-individual variation in such traits.
“Population-based genetic variation has largely been studied for blood cell traits, and over ten thousand loci have been defined across the allelic spectrum that explain inter-individual variation in such traits (Astle et al., 2016; Chen et al., 2020; Vuckovic et al., 2020).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
