Sample Description: This sample is part of the SNP500Cancer initiative study. The SNP500Cancer panel is a set of reference samples from four ethnically diverse groups. The anonymized samples are obtained from the Coriell Cell Repositories (Coriell Institute for Medical research). This sample represent 23 Latin Americans catalogued as Hispanics in the SNP500Cancer initiative.
