Why is NA18498 sample missing from 1000 genome GRCh38 vcf file?

Hi I am trying to compare the 1000 genome phase3 GRCh19 vcf file and the GRCh38 (low coverage) vcf file.

I noticed that one sample, NA18498, is present in the GRCh19 file but not in the GRCh38 file. I could not find a document and any other source that confirms this information. Does anyone know why this sample is missing from the GRCh38 vcf file and where I can find more details about it?

I have also noticed that there are 45 more samples in the GRCh38 version file, such as HG00270, HG03398, HG03393. I am not sure why they were introduced

Thank you for your help.

If I am not mistaken, the GRCh38 files you relate to only contain unrelated samples, that's why NA18498 is not included.

yeah, but GRCh19 seems also only contain unrelated sample, the NA18498 also including in GRCh19 and GRCh38 1000 genomes (high coverage) unrelated panel
