Apparently Healthy

The NIGMS Repository hosts a large collection of cell lines and DNA samples from Apparently Healthy individuals. This refers to samples collected from individuals that have not been diagnosed with a genetic disease at the time of sample collection. This does not necessarily mean that the samples do not contain any mutations or alterations in all biomedically relevant genes.
