Abstract excerpt
Founder populations may be enriched with certain genetic variants of high clinical impact compared to nonfounder populations due to bottleneck events and genetic drift. Using exome sequencing (ES), we quantified the load of pathogenic variants that may be clinically actionable in 6136 apparently healthy adults living in the Lancaster, PA Old Order Amish settlement. We focused on variants in 78 genes deemed...
