En nuestro ámbito geográfico existen dos poblaciones minoritarias que son de interés desde el punto de vista genético, principalmente por haber practicado históricamente la endogamia y presentar elevada consanguinidad, y por haber padecido cuellos de botella genéticos que han dado lugar al efecto fundador en algunas enfermedades.

Además de los cuadros anteriores, también hay descrita una forma de miastenia congénita que es más frecuente en la población gitana que en la población general, en particular la mutación epsilon1267delG en el gen de la subunidad epsilon del receptor de acetilcolina (AChR).
