Referring to Populations
It is important to refer to this community as "Luhya in Webuye, Kenya" when describing these samples in articles or presentations. Including the full name reinforces the point that the sample set does not represent does not represent all Luhya people, whose population history is complex. The population should not be described merely as "African", "Sub-Saharan African", "East African", or "Kenyan", since each of those designators encompasses many communities.
The full population descriptor is Luhya in Webuye, Kenya and the abbreviation is LWK.
Additional guidance about how to refer to the populations can be found at Guidelines for Referring to the Populations in Publications and Presentations.
