For example in the case of -13910*T in the Czech Republic (in the supplementary data table "Czechoslovakia") the only representative is the Roma (Gipsy) population, a small minority with well known non-European origin, and in Poland the Ashkenazi (Jewish) population (also not a representative European (Polish) population).bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07573112496508014287noreply@blogger.com
