The GAW18 dataset consists of 1,043 individuals from 20 large multi-generational Mexican American pedigrees. Whole genome sequence (WGS) and dense SNP genotype data for odd numbered autosomes were available. The number of individuals in the 20 pedigrees with available genotype data ranged from 22 to 86 individuals, and both real and simulated phenotype data on systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and hypertension were provided for the GAW18 sample individuals. A detailed description of the data can be found elsewhere [Blangero et al., 2013].
