Accordingly, we decided to concentrate our attention on two groups of kindreds: (A) pedigree 2 (deleting founder 2005 [a Tuscan] and all of her descendants), pedigree 3, and pedigree 4 (deleting founder 4021 [a Yoruba] and all of her descendants); and (B) pedigrees 5 and 6. Individuals in kindred group A are all sampled from the Luhya population, a Bantu ethnic group living primarily in Kenya. It is unclear whether the Luhya sample from the 1000 Genomes Project was randomly sampled from all of the 16 tribes that make up the Luhya ethnic group or from a smaller subset. Individuals in kindred group B are all Yoruba, a large heterogeneous group of about 30 million people from West Africa, predominantly Nigeria.
