Cаse Scenаriо: Reаd and respоnd tо the scenarios and prompts below.  The GWA Study graphic can be found at the bottom of the question. QUESTIONS: You have been given the responsibility of designing a case-control genome-wide association study at the University of Florida to identify the genetic variants associated with type 2 diabetes risk. List the variables/ inputs to be considered in the design of a GWA study.   Overall, Indigenous Americans are 1.5 times more likely to be diagnoses with - and 2.3 times more likely to die from - diabetes than non-Hispanic White adults. Hanson RL et al. Diabetes. (2014) identified 139 SNPs associated with type 2 diabetes. Describe how the limitation of Indigenous American participants in the study may impact the clinical validity and utility of future predictive genetic tests in the group.   Hanson RL et al. Diabetes. (2014) analyzed whether the 139 identified SNPs associated with the development of type 2 diabetes were associated with either insulin secretion or sensitivity. What are the strengths and limitations when investigating candidate SNPs in the context of this study?   FORMAT: Response length will vary and is up to the learner to fully and completely answer the question to the best of their ability.   Supplementary data for #2. Ancestry category distribution in the GWAS Catalog. Here we present an analysis of the ancestry data contained in the GWAS Catalog for studies published from 2005 - Dec 2024.
