South Asian Patient Population Genetics Reveal Strong Founder Effects and High Rates of Homozygosity – New Resources for Precision Medicine

TL;DR: This paper used whole genome sequence information from 4,807 individuals recruited in the health care delivery systems of Pakistan, India and Bangladesh to ensure relevance to population-scale studies of disease genetics, finding evidence for high rates of reproductive isolation, endogamy and consanguinity that vary across the subcontinent and that lead to levels of homozygosity that reach 100 times that seen in outbred populations.
