[QUOTE="PloverWing, post: 73556956, member: 307356"] From myjewishlearning.com: "Certain diseases are believed to be more common among Jews because of the so-called founder effect, in which genetic diversity is reduced when a population descends from a small number of common ancestors. Moreover, since Jews historically have tended to marry only Jews, those mutations weren’t passed along to other groups, and they weren’t lessened by the introduction of new genes." See [URL="https://www.jewishgeneticdiseases.org/jewish-genetic-diseases/"]Diseases | Jewish Genetic Disease Consortium[/URL], [URL]https://www.gaucherdisease.org/about-gaucher-disease/jewish-genetic-diseases/[/URL], and [URL="https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/jewish-genetic-diseases/"]What Are Jewish Genetic Diseases? | My Jewish Learning[/URL] for discussions of some of the genetic diseases that occur more often in the Jewish community than in the population at large. While it is possible to convert to Judaism, most Jews are descendants of the people of ancient Israel/Palestine, so there is also an ethnic component in Judaism. By contrast, Islam (like Christianity) sees itself as a religion for the whole world, and Muslims (like Christians) represent a wide variety of ethnicities. [/QUOTE]
