04 / Evidence and provenance
Why the record is included.
Inclusion basis
Large, geographically broad Saudi genomics cohort with peer-reviewed analysis and deposited PGS outputs.
Editorial note
Descriptive Atlas name because the paper does not assign a unique branded project name. The KFSHRC sample likely overlaps other cardiovascular/MI studies; exact crosswalk is not public.
