To evaluate whether self-selection by participants with known genetic diseases impacts our study, we examined the allele frequencies of eight disease-associated variants (four rare, four common) in comparison with GnomAD. Except for a 6% difference in the common HFE rs1800562 alleles, the frequencies in our study closely match those in GnomAD. GnomAD and All of Us allele frequencies are based on biologically independent samples.
