Genetic diversity and linkage disequilibrium in the Polynesian population of Niue Island.

Human biology - 1 Apr 2006

Abstract excerpt

Isolated populations that recently have been derived from small homogeneous groups of founders should have low genetic diversity and high levels of linkage disequilibrium and should be ideal for mapping ancestral polymorphisms that influence complex genetic disease susceptibility. Populations that fulfill these criteria have been difficult to identify. We have been looking for Polynesian populations with these...
