Genetic correlations consistent across continental ancestries in admixed individuals.

TL;DR Summary
A study has found that the causal effects on complex traits are similar for common variants across segments of different continental ancestries within admixed individuals. The research used data from three large biobanks and found that the genetic architecture of complex traits is largely shared across populations, which has implications for the use of polygenic scores in diverse populations.
