Abstract
Traveller Genes is a research study supported by the Traveller community. We're looking at the genetics, origins and health of over 200 volunteers who have at least two grandparents who are or were Travellers. This includes Scottish Travellers, Irish Travellers, Romanichal or Romany, or Welsh Kale. We aim to identify the genetic origins and relationships of the Scottish Traveller community e.g. Highland Travellers, Lowland Travellers, Borders Romanichal Travellers. We also want to understand how Scottish Travellers are related to other communities and their overall patterns of health.
