🇸🇦 Genetic Landscape of Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia's genetic profile reflects the Arabian Peninsula's role as a bridge between Africa, Asia, and Europe. While the population appears phenotypically homogeneous, genetic studies reveal remarkable diversity from ancient migration routes. The high rate of consanguineous marriage (~50%) has concentrated certain genetic traits and conditions. Saudi genetics carry traces of the original Out-of-Africa migration, making it one of the oldest continuously inhabited regions. B blood type is unusually common compared to Western nations.
