"Health among the Amish is characterized by higher incidences of particular
genetic disorders, especially among the
Old Order Amish. These disorders include
dwarfism,
[1] Angelman syndrome,
[2] and various
metabolic disorders, such as
Tay-Sachs disease,
[3] as well as an unusual distribution of
blood types.
