Whole genome sequencing and imputation in isolated populations identify genetic associations with medically-relevant complex traits

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 isola...
