Neuromuscular disorders in the Gypsy ethnic group. A short review.

Acta myologica : myopathies and cardiomyopathies : official journal of the Mediterranean Society of Myology - 1 May 2003

Navarro C, Teijeira S

Abstract excerpt

The Roma (Gypsies) are a transnational minority with an estimated population of 10 to 14 million, 8 of which reside in Europe, scattered between the Balkans and Western countries. Similar to other genetically isolated founder populations, the Roma harbour a number of unique or rare autosomal recessive disorders, caused by "private" founder mutations. These genetically homogeneous populations are a unique resource...
