Sample Information:

Sample Name: Sindhi, HGDP-CEPH

Sample UID: SA001479V

Sample Description:This sample from Pakistan is part of the Human Genome Diversity Cell Line Panel collected by the Human Genome Diversity Project (HGDP) and the Foundation Jean Dausset (CEPH). This sample consists of unrelated individuals and was collected with proper informed consent.

Note: In many publications subset H952 of the HGDP panel (with first and second degree relatives excluded from the original set) was typed and for this population that decreases the sample size from 25 to 24 individuals. In studies using H971 subset with only the first degree relatives excluded the sample size decreases from 25 to 24 individuals

Number of Chromosomes: 50
