Genome of the Netherlands population-specific imputations identify an ABCA6 variant associated with cholesterol levels

Variants associated with blood lipid levels may be population-specific. To identify low-frequency variants associated with this phenotype, population-specific reference panels may be used. Here we impute nine large Dutch biobanks (~35,000 samples) with the population-specific reference panel created...
