Impact of common genetic determinants of Hemoglobin A1c on type 2 diabetes risk and diagnosis in ancestrally diverse populations: A transethnic genome-wide meta-analysis

Mean HbA1c of individuals at the bottom 5% and top 5% of the distribution of ancestry-specific genetic scores and rs1050828 by genotype.

The difference in measured HbA1c of individuals at the bottom 5% and top 5% of the distribution of an ancestry-specific additive GS composed of all 60 variants (GS-Total), and the equivalent calculation for an ancestry-specific GS composed of up to 20 erythrocytic variants (GS-E). Far right of the figure shows the mean HbA1c by genotype for chromosome X rs1050828. AA men, African American men; AA women, African American women; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; GS, genetic scores.
