EGP1K: Whole-Genome Sequencing of 1,024 Egyptians Characterizes Population Structure and Genetic Diversity

2026-04-06

Abstract excerpt

Middle Eastern and North African populations remain underrepresented in genomic databases, comprising less than 1% of genome-wide association study participants despite representing approximately 6% of the global population. Here we present the Egypt Genome Project (EGP1K), in which we performed whole-genome sequencing on 1,024 unrelated Egyptian individuals originating from 21 of Egypt’s 27 governorates, recruite...
