Genome sequencing elucidates Sardinian genetic architecture and augments association analyses for lipid and blood inflammatory markers

We report ~17.6M genetic variants from whole-genome sequencing of 2,120 Sardinians; 22% are absent from prior sequencing-based compilations and enriched for predicted functional consequence. Furthermore, ~76K variants common in our sample (frequency >5%) are rare elsewhere (<0.5% in the 1000 G...
