Due to system maintenance, the application system, application review by the Data Access Committee will be unavailable during the following period.
Schedule: October 5th (Mon), 2026, 9:00 - October 7th (Wed), 2026, 15:00 (JST)
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

We are currently receiving a large number of applications for data submission, and the review process is taking longer than usual.We sincerely apologize for the delay and kindly ask for your understanding. When submitting an application, we would greatly appreciate it if you could allow sufficient time for the processing.

Following a change to our organizational structure effective April 1, 2026, this division has been renamed from the "Database Center for Life Science, Joint Support-Center for Data Science Research" to the "Database Division for Life Science (DBCLS), BioData Science Initiative (BSI), National Institute of Genetics (NIG)". Where the former name still appears in the guidelines, please read it as the new name.

QC and filtering
SNP array data:
Sample QC: We excluded individuals with low genotyping call rates (call rate < 98%). We included individuals of the estimated Asian ancestry using PCA.
Variant QC: We excluded variants with (1) genotyping call rate < 99%, (2) minor allele count < 5, (3) P-value for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium < 1.0 × 10^−10, and (4) > 5% allele frequency difference compared with the imputation reference panel or the allele frequency panel of Tohoku Medical Megabank Project.
Post-imputation QC: We excluded imputed variants with Rsq < 0.7 and minor allele frequency < 1%.
WGS:
We excluded variants with genotype call rate <90%, ExcessHet > 60, Hardy-Weinberg P<1.0×10−10
After imputation with Beagle v5.1, we excluded imputed variants with minor allele frequency < 1%.
