EGAD00001015372	Birth cohort studies involve repeated surveys of large numbers of individuals from birth and throughout their lives. They collect information useful for a wide range of life course research domains, and biological samples which can be used to derive data from an increasing collection of omic technologies. This rich source of longitudinal data, when combined with genomic data, offers the scientific community valuable insights from population genetics to rare disease associations. The Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) is a UK longitudinal birth study. It is following the lives of around 19,000 young people born across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland in 2000-02. It has tracked measures such as physical, socio-emotional, cognitive and behavioural development, economic circumstances, parenting, relationships, and family life across the life course. Available here is a subset of exome-sequenced parents and children from these studies (CRAMS and post-QC VCFs) as detailed in https://doi.org/10.12688/wellcomeopenres.22697. Phenotypic data is also available by submitting an application to the corresponding cohort. 15,173 samples – Illumina NovaSeq 6000 – 19.2 TB.	Illumina NovaSeq 6000	15173
