Abstract:Mennonites present cc. 500 years genetic isolation and three bottleneck events that reducedtheir genetic diversity. In order to identify (epi)genetic markers for metabolic syndrome (MS),we used a modified version of the Brazilian National Health Survey to interview 762Mennonites from three settlements, between 2016-2023. We compared 63 vs. 127 exomes(Illumina HiSeq) from Mennonites with/without metabolic syndrome (MS) and genotypedcandidate variants in regulatory regions with mass spectrometry (iPLEX) and sequ… Show more
