Original Note:
Different ethnic groups all have their own list of genetic disorders, due to the 'Founder effect' and many of the diseases listed are found more often in non-Jewish groups. Examples below. Calling any group 'genetically defective' is bigoted and/or racist. https://www.thenationalnews.com/uae/arabs-bear-brunt-of-gene-disorders-1.504568/ https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/understanding/inheritance/ethnicgroup/ https://www.independent.ie/life/health-wellbeing/we-have-the-highest-rate-of-cystic-fibrosis-in-the-world/26371223.html https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0277953688902183 https://www.genome.gov/genetics-glossary/Founder-Effect https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10607133/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0378111915001444
