Deskripsi
Isolated populations can provide useful information on low-frequency variants for dissecting genetic architecture of complex traits. Here, Zeggini and colleagues show enrichment of rare and low-frequency variants and 8 novel low-frequency variant signals for cardiometabolic traits in two Greek isolated populations
