Assessment of coding region variants in Kuwaiti population: implications for medical genetics and population genomics
2 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
Consanguineous populations of the Arabian Peninsula have been underrepresented in global efforts that catalogue human exome variability. We sequenced 291 whole exomes of unrelated, healthy native Arab individuals from Kuwait to a median coverage of 45X and characterised 170,508 single-nucleotide variants (SNVs), of which 21.7% were 'personal'. Up to 12% of the SNVs were novel and 36% were population-specific....
