Development of a panel of genome-wide ancestry informative markers to study admixture throughout the Americas
(PLOS Genetics, 2012-03-08)
Abstract
Most individuals throughout the Americas are admixed descendants of Native American, European, and African ancestors.
Complex historical factors have resulted in varying proportions of ancestral contributions ...
Gallbladder Cancer Risk and Indigenous South American Mapuche Ancestry: Instrumental Variable Analysis Using Ancestry-Informative Markers
(2023)
A strong association between the proportion of indigenous South American Mapuche ancestry and the risk of gallbladder cancer (GBC) has been reported in observational studies. Chileans show the highest incidence of GBC ...

Socioeconomic and nutritional factors account for the association of gastric cancer with amerindian ancestry in a latin american admixed population
(Public Library of Science, 2012)
Gastric cancer is one of the most lethal types of cancer and its incidence varies worldwide, with the Andean region of South America showing high incidence rates. We evaluated the genetic structure of the population from ...
Development of a small panel of SNPs to infer ancestry in chileans that distinguishes Aymara and Mapuche components
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2020)
Background Current South American populations trace their origins mainly to three continental ancestries, i.e. European, Amerindian and African. Individual variation in relative proportions of each of these ancestries may ...
