Summary
This study aims to identify the genes responsible for inherited disorders that are more common in Amish and Mennonite populations. Researchers will collect family histories, medical records, and small tissue samples from participants to build a detailed database of family trees and genetic information. The goal is to better understand these rare conditions to eventually improve their diagnosis and medical care.
