We collected saliva samples from 239 individuals from the Tai-Kadai-speaking populations in Guizhou, southwest China. There were 50 individuals of Congjiang Zhuang in southeastern Guizhou (Zhuang_Congjiang), 51 individuals of Guanling Bouyei (Bouyei_Guanling), 22 individuals of Majiang Mulao in southeastern Guizhou (Mulao_Majiang, 木佬), 48 individuals of Liping Dong in southeastern Guizhou (Dong_Liping), 20 individuals of Dong in Dong_Tongren, and 48 individuals of Wuchuan Gelao in Zunyi (Gelao_Wuchuan). The geographical locations of the above six populations are shown in Supplementary Figure 1. Participants whose parents and grandparents are indigenous people reside in Guizhou for at least three generations and should have no consanguineous marriage with other groups. The Medical Ethics Committee of Guizhou Medical University approved the study (2019 Ethics Approval Document No. 74). We followed the recommendations provided by the revised Helsinki Declaration of 2000. All the participants signed written informed consent before participating in the study.
