A reference panel of 64,976 haplotypes for genotype imputation
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
We describe a reference panel of 64,976 human haplotypes at 39,235,157 SNPs constructed using whole-genome sequence data from 20 studies of predominantly European ancestry. Using this resource leads to accurate genotype imputation at minor allele frequencies as low as 0.1% and a large increase in the number of SNPs tested in association studies, and it can help to discover and refine causal loci. We describe remote server resources that allow researchers to carry out imputation and phasing consistently and efficiently.

In the citing paper
“Furthermore, imputation reference panels share the same study biases as in GWAS41, creating challenges for imputing sites that are rare in European populations but common elsewhere when the catalog of non-European haplotypes is substantially smaller.”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIn the citing paper
“Recently, increased access to exome and whole-genome sequence data has, through both direct association analysis45,46 and imputation3,4, extended discovery to low-frequency and rare alleles previously inaccessible to GWAS.”
From A brief history of human disease genetics (2020) · cites this paper as [4]
In the citing paper
“For the common variants that underlie the bulk of complex-disease risk, the resolution of association mapping is often limited by the haplotype structure of the human genome2–4.”

In the citing paper
“However, the principal benefit to date of whole-genome sequence data to genetic discovery has been to bolster array-based access to lower-frequency alleles, either directly, through their inclusion on genotyping platforms, or indirectly, through imputation from sequence-based reference samples3,4.”
From A brief history of human disease genetics (2020) · cites this paper as [4]
In the citing paper
“In the 406 GWAS loci, 4% of sentinel variants were nonsynonymous, representing a significant enrichment (p=2.5×10−10; 0.4% of variants with MAF>0.1% in the imputation panel41 were nonsynonymous).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
