FinnGen: Unique genetic insights from combining isolated population and national health register data

Mitja Kurki, Juha M Karjalainen, Priit Palta, Timo Petteri Sipila, Kati Kristiansson, Kati M. Donner, Mary Pat Reeve, Hannele M. Laivuori, Mervi Aavikko, Mari Anneli Kaunisto, Anu Loukola, Elisa Lahtela, Hannele Mattsson, Päivi Laiho, Pietro Della Briotta Parolo, , Marianna Niemi

Finnish-enriched low-frequency variants, often coding, underlie many GWAS signals across 1,932 register endpoints in 218,792 Finns; a 15-disease meta-analysis with Estonian and UK biobanks adds 30 unreported associations.
