About 200 years ago, a small group of people settled in a relatively remote area in Venezuela called Lake Maracaibo. One of the original settlers, a female, had 10 children but also was a carrier for Huntington’s disease. Now, this population has a very high frequency of Huntington’s disease, much higher than the general population. This situation is an example of
