Exploring the genetic architecture of complex traits requires identification of low frequency variants with large effect size. Founder and isolated populations provide a unique and powerful resource for the identification of such causal genetic variants. Recent studies highlight that open population may also display genetic structure related to demographical history (Western France, The Netherlands). This Symposium will cover methodology and examples of gene identification in all homogeneous populations.
