The study find that the Geographically isolated populations often develop unique genetic traits that result from their successful adaptation to specific environments. Unfortunately, these adaptations sometimes predispose them to certain health issues if the environment is change. The genetic background of these populations are often poorly understood because they live far from scientific research centres.…
