Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Only 193 people from Pitcairn Island, all descended from 9 'Bounty' mutineers and 12 Tahitian women, moved to the uninhabited Norfolk Island in 1856. Our objective was to assess the population of Norfolk Island, several thousand km off the eastern coast of Australia, as a genetic isolate of potential use for cardiovascular disease (CVD) gene mapping. METHODS: A total of 602 participants, approximately...
