Isolated populations and complex disease gene identification.

Genome biology - 1 Jan 2008

Kristiansson Kati, Naukkarinen Jussi, Peltonen Leena

Abstract excerpt

The utility of genetically isolated populations (population isolates) in the mapping and identification of genes is not only limited to the study of rare diseases; isolated populations also provide a useful resource for studies aimed at improved understanding of the biology underlying common diseases and their component traits. Well characterized human populations provide excellent study samples for many...
