gnomAD v4.1.1

Today, we released gnomAD v4.1.1, which includes an update to our gene constraint metrics, LOFTEE flags, and a minor update to other flags and annotations. In this blog post, we discuss the improvements incorporated in this release, our new LOEUF threshold recommendations, and guidance around interpretation of the gene constraint metrics.

Local Ancestry Inference for African/African American Samples in gnomAD

Announcement

We have now released an extension of local ancestry-informed frequency work from the inferred Admixed American genetic ancestry group to the inferred African/African American genetic ancestry group (n=20,805) within gnomAD v4.0. This implementation of local ancestry inference (LAI) resolves the admixed ancestries of African/African American samples into their respective African and European haplotypes, leading to better-informed functional and/or clinical classifications.
