HKG: An open genetic variant database of 205 Hong Kong Cantonese exomes

Abstract excerpt

HKG is the first fully accessible variant database for Hong Kong Cantonese, constructed from 205 novel whole-exome sequencing data. There has long been a research gap in the understanding of the genetic architecture of southern Chinese subgroups, including Hong Kong Cantonese. HKG detected 196,325 high-quality variants with 5.93% being novel, and 25,472 variants were found to be unique in HKG compared to other Chi...
