Abstract excerpt
Recent advancements in genome sequencing have enabled the estimation of genetic load through deleterious mutation profiling. However, Chinese populations remain underexplored in this context. We analyze whole-exome sequencing data from 5002 individuals, encompassing major Han subgroups-North Han (N-Han), South Han (S-Han), and Guangxi Han (G-Han)-as well as 13 ethnic minorities.
