Show Notes:
0:00 Intro to The Genetics Podcast
01:00 Welcome to Jim
01:40 The most impactful discoveries of Jim’s work across more than 25 Scottish islands as part of the Viking Genes project
05:00 The increased prevalence of BRCA mutations and founder effects in specific island populations
07:45 Population sizes on the islands Jim studies
09:01 Islander screening today, how Jim and his team are taking genetic screening programs forward, and the impact of founder effects on population health
13:00 Raising awareness of the importance of genetic screening within isolated populations
14:50 How the Jewish community is at the forefront of screening for populations at increased risk of specific genetic conditions
17:19 Factors that cause delays in implementation of screening for at-risk populations
20:29 Mapping Prince William’s mitochondrial DNA and working with Westminster to raise awareness of genetic screening
23:07 Shared ancestries and the deep interconnections within our DNA, revealing how populations are far more intertwined than we often realize.
25:43 Key actionable findings from Jim’s work with isolated Scottish communities (Find the link to the paper below)
29:10 Current knowledge and understanding of global isolated communities
31:27 How the majority of people want to receive genetic results and have knowledge of potential health impacts and actionable findings
33:03 Jim’s IFTA winning work with the Irish Traveller community
35:05 The power of genetics and screening to deliver preventative medicine and improved health outcomes for isolated communities.
39:18 Closing remarks
