Details of genetic disease		Author	Result
Phenotype	Medical history, clinical observation and physical examination	Cullinane et al27	Case of leucoencephalopathy described. Patient presented with short stature, pes planus, hypotonia, history of osteogenic sarcoma. Participants’ medical history: epilepsy, multiple cerebral cysts (removed by craniotomy/cyst excisions over the course of 15 years from age 5), left ventriculoperitoneal shunt inserted and later removed, multiple vascular malformations of the capillary–cavernous type with associated haematomas, surrounding gliosis, haemosiderin deposition, Rosenthal fibres and areas of white matter calcification.
	Blood and urine testing	Flynn et al28	Type 2 hyperprolinaemia (n=13, including 7 adults). Mild hyperprolinaemia (n=50, proportion of adults unclear). Seizures from hyperprolinaemia: 4 adults suffered grand mal seizures, 1 of whom had a severe learning disabilities, 1 suffered from petit mal seizures.
Genotype	Whole exome sequencing	Cullinane et al27	Identified a homozygous variant of the SNORD118 gene. The sister of this case, with milder symptoms were homozygous for the same variant.
Other conditions
Chronic inflammatory bowel disease		McCormick and Manning33	No recorded Traveller with idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease.
Cancer		All Ireland Traveller Health Study8	1% Travellers, Ireland (background population 1%). 0.3% Travellers, Northern Ireland.
Physical health problems		Mac Gabhann18	Out of sample n=281 Travellers in a UK prison, the following physical health conditions were reported: asthma (n=12), ‘back’ problems (n=10), epilepsy (n=9) and arthritis (n=7).
Self-rated health: Chronic health condition Physical health Daily activity or work		Kelleher et al (Dimension 6 in health status interview)19	41.5% (n=2022), chronic health condition diagnosed by GP 59.3% (n=1843), physical health not good≥1 day in last month 17.2% (2012), daily activity limited due to a long-term illness, health problem or disability
