AbstractThe Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) has been an invaluable resource for the genomics community, quantifying allele frequencies across multiple genetic ancestry groups. However, traditional gnomAD allele frequencies report aggregate estimates, overlooking fine-scale genetic differences. This can skew allele frequency estimates, particularly in recently admixed populations, and potentially lead to clinically relevant misinterpretations in underrepresented groups.
