High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A Finnish heritage disease is a genetic disease or disorder that is part of the Finnish disease heritage. Finnish heritage diseases are significantly more common in people whose ancestors were ethnic Finns, natives of Finland and Sweden. About 40 rare diseases are regarded as Finnish heritage diseases. None of these diseases are restricted to Finns; rather, they are genetic diseases with far wider distribution in the world, but due to founder effects and genetic isolation they are more common in Finns. Within Finland these diseases are more common in the east and north, consistent with their higher association with ethnic Finns than with ethnic Swedes. The Finnish disease heritage does not extend to other ethnic groups in the region, the Sámi and Karelians other than Finnish Karelians. It is attributed to a population bottleneck among ancestors of modern Finns, estimated to have occurred about 4000 years ago, presumably when populationspracticing agriculture and animal husbandry arrived in Finland.
