description | Most genetic variants are rare and specific to the population, highlighting the importance of characterizing local population genetic diversity. Many countries have initiated population-based whole-genome sequencing (WGS) studies. Genomic variation within Lithuanian families are not available in the public databases. Here, we describe initial findings of a high-coverage (an average of 36.27×) whole genome sequencing for 25 trios of the Lithuanian population. Each genome on average carried approximately 4,701,473 (±28,255) variants, where 80.6% (3,787,626) were single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and the rest 19.4% were indels. An average of 12.45% was novel according to dbSNP (build 150). The WGS structural variation (SV) analysis identified on average 9133 (±85.10) SVs, of which 95.85% were novel. De novo single nucleotide variation (SNV) analysis identified 4417 variants, where 1.1% de novo SNVs were exonic, 43.9% intronic, 51.9% intergenic, and the rest 3.13% in UTR or downstream sequence. Three potential pathogenic de novo variants in the <i>ZSWIM8</i>, <i>CDC42EP1</i>, and <i>RELA</i> genes were identified. Our findings provide useful information on local human population genomic variation, especially for de novo variants, and will be a valuable resource for further genetic studies, and medical implications. |
