“…Genome-wide association studies have uncovered thousands of common variants associated with human disease, but the contribution of rare variation to common disease remains relatively unexplored. The UK Biobank (UKB) contains detailed phenotypic data linked to medical records for approximately 500,000 participants, offering an unprecedented opportunity to evaluate the impact of rare variation on a broad collection of traits 1,2 . Here, we studied the relationships between rare protein-coding variants and 17,361 binary and 1,419 quantitative phenotypes using exome sequencing data from 269,171 UKB participants of European ancestry.…”

“…The UKB offers an unprecedented opportunity to assess the contribution of both common and rare genetic variation to thousands of human traits and diseases 1,2,[9][10][11][12][13] . Testing for the association between rare variants and phenotypes is typically performed at the level variant or gene level.…”

“…3 and Fig. 4), we identified carriers of high-confidence loss-of-function SNP and indel variants (annotated using LOFTEE 55 ) among the 185,365 individuals with whole-exome sequencing data 27 in our analysis set. To increase power to assess phenotypic impacts of SNP and indel PTVs, we residualized phenotypes for polygenic predictions of the phenotype using array-typed SNPs (omitting those within 2Mb of the gene of interest) that we generated using BOLT-LMM '-predBetasFile' in 10-fold cross-validation (emulating linear mixed model association analysis) 57 .…”

“…For this study, we used 200,624 Whole Exome Sequencing datasets from the UK Biobank 200k release generated using the IDT xGen Exome Research Panel v1.0 including supplemental probes and sequenced with dual-indexed 75x75 bp paired-end reads on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform using S2 and S4 flow cells (168). We used the aligned CRAM files from the OQFE pipeline which aligned and duplicate-marked all raw sequencing data (FASTQs) against the full GRCh38 reference in an alt-aware manner as described in the original FE manuscript (169). These aligned sequence datasets were used as the primary input in the CNest pipeline (Details below) for exome-wide copy number estimation and CNV calling.…”
