“+” presence of the mutation in panel. “−” absence of the mutation in panel, pc personal communications

aDisease severity; 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe, 4 = profound (Lazarin et al. 2014). Scored independently by IM and IK. Discrepancies were discussed until consensus was reached

bSix different Dutch founder populations (coded from 1 to 6)

cIf the carrier frequency in the genetically isolated community is not known, the number of cases described in the literature and the current population size of the genetically isolated community is noted
