English to Portuguese: The African Genome Variation Project shapes medical genetics in Africa General field: Science Detailed field: Science (general)
Source text - English Given the importance of Africa to studies of human origins and disease susceptibility, detailed characterization of African genetic diversity is needed. The African Genome Variation Project provides a resource with which to design, implement and interpret genomic studies in sub-Saharan Africa and worldwide. The African Genome Variation Project represents dense genotypes from 1,481 individuals and whole-genome sequences from 320 individuals across sub-Saharan Africa. Using this resource, we find novel evidence of complex, regionally distinct hunter-gatherer and Eurasian admixture across sub-Saharan Africa. We identify new loci under selection, including loci related to malaria susceptibility and hypertension. We show that modern imputation panels (sets of reference genotypes from which unobserved or missing genotypes in study sets can be inferred) can identify association signals at highly differentiated loci across populations in sub-Saharan Africa. Using whole-genome sequencing, we demonstrate further improvements in imputation accuracy, strengthening the case for large-scale sequencing efforts of diverse African haplotypes. Finally, we present an efficient genotype array design capturing common genetic variation in Africa.

Translation - Portuguese Dada a importância de estudos relacionados à origem humana e suscetibilidade a doenças, é imprescindível uma caracterização detalhada da diversidade genética africana. O Projeto de Variação do Genoma Africano proporciona meios de projetar, implementar e interpretar estudos genômicos na África subsaariana e em todo o mundo. Este projeto representa genótipos compactados de 1.481 pessoas e sequências genômicas inteiras de 320 indivíduos da África subsaariana. Usando esse recurso encontramos novas evidências de complexa combinação de grupos regionalmente distintos, como de caçadores-coletores e eurasiáticos, em toda a África subsaariana. Identificamos novos loci sob seleção, incluindo loci relacionados à suscetibilidade a malária e hipertensão. Mostramos que painéis modernos de imputação (conjuntos de genótipos de referência, que podem ser utilizados para inferir genótipos não observados ou ausentes nos conjuntos de estudo) podem identificar sinais de associação em loci altamente diferenciados entre populações da África subsaariana. Usando a sequência completa do genoma, demonstramos melhorias adicionais na precisão da imputação, reforçando a questão dos esforços para sequenciamento em larga escala de diversos haplótipos africanos. Enfim, apresentamos um eficiente projeto de matriz genotípica que captura a variação genética comum na África.
