Abstract

PURPOSE: The variome of the Turkish (TK) population, a population with a considerable history of admixture and consanguinity, has not been deeply investigated for insights on the genomic architecture of disease.

METHODS: We generated and analyzed a database of variants derived from exome sequencing data of 773 TK unrelated, clinically affected individuals with various suspected Mendelian disease traits and 643 unaffected relatives.

RESULTS: Using uniform manifold approximation and projection, we showed that the TK genomes are more similar to those of Europeans and consist of 2 main subpopulations: clusters 1 and 2 (

CONCLUSION: Our findings support the notion that novel rare variants on newly configured haplotypes arising within the recent past generations of a family or clan contribute significantly to recessive disease traits in the TK population.
