The carrier rate of the R245X mutation among the normal hearing Ashkenazi population in Israel was estimated at 1%. Ashkenazi Jewish children with profound prelingual hearing loss should be evaluated for the R245X PCDH15 mutation and undergo ophthalmologic evaluation to determine whether they will ...

Therefore, examination of known prostate cancer risk SNPs in the AJ population provides a unique opportunity to test for genetic heterogeneity at these loci among individuals of European ancestry. Here, we report the results of a case – control association study in the AJ population of 29 ...

We further provide the carrier IDs, the allele frequency in MAJ and non-Finnish Europeans (gnomAD), and the number (out of four) of Ashkenazi-specific pre-conception screening (PCS) panels where the gene is included (STAR Methods). Ancestry estimation and medieval population structure To ...
Note that this method of estimation does not include consideration of preva- lent Jewish/non-Jewish marriages, which would not impact allele frequencies in the current adult population but would lessen the impact to offspring of one non-Jewish parent. We assessed the clinical utility of screening...
In an analysis of a population-based incident series of 686 Ashkenazi Jews from Israel who have colorectal cancer, we identified 3 (0.44%) mutation carriers. Persons with a family history of colorectal or endometrial cancer were more likely to carry the mutation than were those without such a ...
