"Manc-COJO enables multiancestry conditional GWAS analysis" — Nature Genetics · Science & Medicine
is a new statistical method published in Nature Genetics that extends the standard (conditional and ) framework to handle genome-wide association study () summary statistics from multiple ancestral populations simultaneously. It allows researchers to identify independently associated genetic variants while accounting for population-specific linkage disequilibrium and effect sizes, reducing false positives in multi-ancestry meta-analyses. The paper likely presents the method's derivation, validation through simulations, and application to real GWAS data.
The claim is based directly on a peer-reviewed paper in Nature Genetics (doi:10.1038/s41588-026-02799-1), a top-tier journal. The reporting sits at the primary source, so accuracy is high. Search results confirm the paper's existence and describe its content consistently with the highlight.
The paper was published on October 20, 2026, making this genuinely new research.
