Measures of autozygosity in decline: globalization, urbanization, and its implications for medical genetics.

Measures of autozygosity in decline: globalization, urbanization, and its implications for medical genetics.

This research investigates the influence of demographic factors on human genetic sub-structure. In our discovery cohort, we show significant demographic trends for decreasing autozygosity associated with population variation in chronological age. Autozygosity, the genomic signature of consanguinity,...
