Found via Google Scholar (scholar.google.com) – *just one example*. The search term I used was "descendants (of) Marrano Jews." You might find others by substituting Crypto-Jews. Search engines can be very picky. : ) Human Genetics <https://link.springer.com/journal/439> September 2000, Volume 107, Issue 3 <https://link.springer.com/journal/439/107/3/page/1>, pp 276–284| Cite as <https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s004390000350#citeas> The photoreceptor cell-specific nuclear receptor gene (*PNR*) accounts for retinitis pigmentosa in the Crypto-Jews from Portugal (Marranos), survivors from the Spanish Inquisition. Hope the above helps you get started. *B’hatzlacha*, Natalie ("Avocational" librarian - worked in a pediatric medical library for over two decades; also an active member of the library committee of my *shul* - Mishkan Shalom in Philadelphia - for over a decade - and a chaplain) -- "He [Hillel] used to say: 'If I am not for myself, who will be for me?
