Genetic Association and Transferability for Urinary Albumin-Creatinine Ratio as a Marker of Kidney Disease in four Sub-Saharan African Populations and non-continental Individuals of African Ancestry.

This study contributes novel insights into the genetic architecture of kidney function in SSA populations, emphasizing the need for conducting genetic research in diverse cohorts. The identified loci provide a foundation for future investigations into the genetic susceptibility to chronic kidney disease in underrepresented African populations.
