β-cell dysfunction and insulin resistance in relation to pre-diabetes and diabetes among adults in north-western Tanzania: a cross-sectional study

George PrayGod et al.

Summary: Studies in Africa show that beta-cell dysfunction appears to play a more significant role in diabetes compared to insulin resistance, with a higher risk of prediabetes and diabetes associated with beta-cell dysfunction, insulin resistance, and combined dysfunction and resistance. Further cohort studies are needed to confirm these findings.

The power of genetic diversity in genome-wide association studies of lipids

Sarah E. Graham et al.

Summary: This study conducted a multi-ancestry, genome-wide genetic discovery meta-analysis of lipid levels in approximately 1.65 million individuals, including 350,000 of non-European ancestries. The findings demonstrate that increasing diversity rather than studying additional individuals of European ancestry results in substantial improvements in fine-mapping functional variants and portability of polygenic prediction, with modest gains in the number of discovered loci and ancestry-specific variants. This highlights the importance of including diverse populations in genetic studies to improve the accuracy and equity of polygenic scores in clinical practice.

Metabolic Traits and Stroke Risk in Individuals of African Ancestry: Mendelian Randomization Analysis

Segun Fatumo et al.

Summary: The study found that in African ancestry individuals, type 2 diabetes (T2D) liability and lipid traits were associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke (IS), with Mendelian randomization estimates similar to those obtained in European ancestry individuals.

Recruitment of Black Adults into Cardiovascular Disease Trials

Anagha Prasanna et al.

Summary: The study analyzed National Institutes of Health-funded cardiovascular clinical trials registered in ClinicalTrials.gov between 2000 and 2019. Findings showed that Black adults are underrepresented in these trials, with most trials not setting Black enrollment targets, failing to meet targets, and lacking specific plans to enroll Black adults.
