Bull Trout (<i>Salvelinus confluentus</i>) Population Structure Across Alberta's Eastern Slopes. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
To understand the genetic population structure of native bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) for conservation and management actions, we performed a genetic analysis on 962 bull trout samples collected across Alberta's Eastern Slopes. Our results found evidence for two distinctive populations, which correspond to the two bull trout Designatable Units ...

Founder population-specific weights yield improvements in performance of polygenic risk scores for Alzheimer disease in the Midwestern Amish

HGG advances, 2023
Summary Alzheimer disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia and is estimated to affect 6 million Americans. Risk for AD is multifactorial, including both genetic and environmental risk factors.

Natural history of propionic acidemia in the Amish population

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2022
Propionic acidemia (PA) in the Amish is caused by a homozygous pathogenic variant (c.1606A>G; p.Asn536Asp) in the PCCB gene. Amish patients can have borderline or normal newborn screening (NBS) results and symptoms can present at any time from early ...

Pathogenic Variants in Mennonites From Southern Brazil: Implications for Preventive Measures in Public Health. [PDF]

Clin Genet
In 325 exomes of South Brazilian Mennonites, we identified 23 pathogenic variants (P) and 27 likely P, with founder effects identified for 96% of P, whose frequencies differed from non‐Finnish Europeans, Amish, and Brazilian populations. ABSTRACT The Mennonite population has a unique history of 500 years of genetic isolation shaped by at least three ...
