Differences in disease frequency between Europeans and Polynesians: directions for future research into genetic risk factors.

Pacific health dialog - 1 Mar 2001

Abbott W, Scragg R, Marbrook J

Abstract excerpt

The purpose of this review is to identify complex genetic diseases that might be common in Polynesian ethnic groups because of a high frequency of susceptibility genes. Since a number of Polynesian ethnic groups are descended from recent founder populations, they may be especially suitable for studies designed to identify these genes. We have reviewed the epidemiological literature looking for diseases that i)...
