Heritability and demographic analyses in the large isolated population of Val Borbera suggest advantages in mapping complex traits genes.

Heritability and demographic analyses in the large isolated population of Val Borbera suggest advantages in mapping complex traits genes.

Isolated populations are a useful resource for mapping complex traits due to shared stable environment, reduced genetic complexity and extended Linkage Disequilibrium (LD) compared to the general population. Here we describe a large genetic isolate from the North West Apennines, the mountain range t...
