Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The protocols for recruitment of PGP participants for sequencing and creation of cell lines were approved by Harvard University’s Human Research Protection Program (IRB 15461). The pooling of these cell lines and estimation of individual donor proportion was also determined to not be human subjects research (IRB18–0480). All PGP participants consented for the sequencing of their own genetic material as well as the creation of their cell lines [].
