When a particular trait exists in a genetically isolated “founder” population such as Sardinia, it is likely that the same few genes are responsible for the trait in most or all affected individuals. Once the genes for a certain complex trait are identified within the founder population, researchers can use this information to isolate interacting genes and assess their importance in more genetically diverse cultures, like the United States. Other large founder populations exist in Finland, Iceland, and French-speaking Quebec.
