"A whole-genome reference panel of 14,393 individuals for East Asian populations accelerates discovery of rare functional variants"
currently in submission.

ABSTRACT
Underrepresentation of non-European populations hinders growth of global precision medicine. Resources such as imputation reference panels that match the study population are necessary to find low-frequency variants with significant effects. We created a reference panel consisting of 14,393 whole-genome sequences including more than 11,000 Asian individuals. Genome-wide association studies were conducted using the new reference panel and a population-specific genotype array of 72K for 8 phenotypes. The newly constructed panel yields improved imputation accuracy of rare and low-frequency variants within East Asian populations compared with the largest reference panel (TOPMed). Thirty-eight novel associations were found, and more than half of the variants were East Asian specific. We discovered genes with rare protein-altering variants, including LTBP1 for height and GPR75 for body-mass-index, as well as putative regulatory mechanisms for rare noncoding variants with cell-type-specific effects. We suggest this data set will add to the potential value of Asian precision medicine.

Below we provide the computational codes used in this analysis.
