Abstract excerpt
The availability of high-density panels of genetic polymorphisms has led to the discovery of extended regions of apparent autozygosity in the human genome. At the genotype level, these regions present as sizeable stretches, or 'runs', of homozygosity (ROH). Here, we investigated both the genomic and the geographic distribution of ROHs in a large European sample of individuals originating from 23 subpopulations....
