Why Study Ashkenazi Jewish Genetics? Unique demography conducive to medical genetics
o A severe founder event; isolationo Large current sizeo Many genetic risk factors discoveredo Sequencing panel missing

Variant Discovery & Screening• Comparison cohort: 26 Flemish individuals from Belgium
o AJ have more novel variants than FLo Variant discovery in AJ predicted to decay faster
Method: Gravel et al., 2011

Variant Discovery & Screening• Comparison cohort: 26 Flemish individuals from Belgium
o Most novel AJ variants do not appear in a FL panel

Abundance of Genetic Sharing• Sharing common in AJ (but not in FL or between AJ-FL)• Long segments shared with the panel cover the
majority of a typical AJ genome
Theory predicts the average coverage:

• Allele frequencies correlated, but populations distinct
• Fit a historical model to the AFS.

Summary
• Data: 128 high coverage AJ genomes
• Medical genetics:Useful for genome screening and imputation
• Population genetics:o Recent severe bottleneck and
rapid expansiono Over 50% European ancestry in AJo Europeans diverged from ME only ≈10-20 kya
