Abstract: | Background It was recently shown that the genetic distinction between self-identified Ashkenazi Jewish and non-Jewish individuals is
a prominent component of genome-wide patterns of genetic variation in European Americans. No study however has yet assessed
how accurately self-identified (Ashkenazi) Jewish ancestry can be inferred from genomic information, nor whether the degree
of Jewish ancestry can be inferred among individuals with fewer than four Jewish grandparents. |
