A small number of ancestors who settled between 1660 and 1760 contributed disproportionately to today\u2019s genetic diversity, a pattern reinforced by region\u2011specific demographic histories. These dynamics help explain why certain hereditary diseases are more common in areas such as the Saguenay\u2013Lac\u2011Saint\u2011Jean region.<br \/>\nThe project combines genetic and genealogical data to better understand these founder effects in Quebec, as well as in comparison with other well\u2011known founder populations worldwide. Another component focuses on two diseases strongly associated with the Saguenay founder effect: myotonic dystrophy type 1 and autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix\u2013Saguenay.<br \/>\nUsing CARTaGENE and BALSAC data, the research team aims to trace the genealogical origins of these conditions, identify regions where certain variants are more frequent, and potentially discover new genetic modifier genes. These findings will improve understanding of Quebec\u2019s genetic structure and help advance research on rare diseases in founder populations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ft-contenu__row row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div
