Accurate testing of salt sensitivity is not only laborious but also expensive, and with low
patient compliance. Patients who have normal blood pressure but are salt-sensitive cannot be …

Rationale: Albuterol, a bronchodilator medication, is the first-line therapy for asthma worldwide.
There are significant racial/ethnic differences in albuterol drug response. Objectives: To …

Genetic studies on telomere length are important for understanding age-related diseases.
Prior GWASs for leukocyte TL have been limited to European and Asian populations. Here, we …

Asthma, an inflammatory disorder of the airways, is the most common chronic disease of
children worldwide. There are significant racial/ethnic disparities in asthma prevalence, …

Rationale: Adverse effects of exposures to ambient air pollution on lung function are well
documented, but evidence in racial/ethnic minority children is lacking. Objectives: To assess …

Short-acting β 2 -adrenergic receptor agonists (SABAs) are the most commonly prescribed
asthma medications worldwide. Response to SABAs is measured as bronchodilator drug …

The genetic control of gene expression is a core component of human physiology. For the
past several years, transcriptome-wide association studies have leveraged large datasets of …

A key aim for current genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) is to interrogate the full
spectrum of genetic variation underlying human traits, including rare variants, across populations…

Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are important genomic features that manifest when an
individual inherits two haplotypes that are identical by descent. Their length distributions are …
