We observed variants in 74 distinct SnpEff annotated genes. Carrier proportion (CP) is defined as the number of individuals of a given ancestry who carry ≥ 1 non-synonymous (NS) rare variant divided by the number of individuals of that ancestry. Table displays count and (percent) of genes according to carrier proportion for each self-reported ancestry. ‘All’ refers to study participants from all ancestries combined. There were no NS rare variants observed in any ancestry for 23 of the 74 genes.
