The Genetic Diversity of the Americas
(Annual Reviews, 2017)
The history of the Americas involved the encounter of millions of Native Americans, Europeans, and Africans. A variable admixture of these three continental groups has taken place throughout the continent, influenced by ...
Development of a panel of genome-wide ancestry informative markers to study admixture throughout the americas
(Public Library of Science, 2012)
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 between ...
Geografía génica de Chile. Distribución regional de los aportes genéticos americanos, europeos y africanos
(Sociedad Médica de Santiago, 2014)
Background: The geographical distribution of genes plays a key role in genetic epidemiology. The Chilean population has three major stem groups (Native American, European and African). Aim: To estimate the regional rate ...
Ethnic Disparities in Oral Health Related Quality of Life among Adults in London, England
(CDH Publishers, 2017)
OBJECTIVE: To explore ethnic disparities in oral health related quality of life (OHQoL) among adults, and the role that socioeconomic factors play in that association. RESEARCH DESIGN: Data from 705 adults from a socially ...
Origin and dynamics of admixture in Brazilians and its effect on the pattern of deleterious mutations
(National Academy of Sciences, 2015)
While South Americans are underrepresented in human genomic diversity studies, Brazil has been a classical model for population genetics studies on admixture.We present the results of the EPIGEN Brazil Initiative, the most ...
The Simons Genome Diversity Project: 300 genomes from 142 diverse populations
(Springer Nature, 2016)
Here we report the Simons Genome Diversity Project data set: high quality genomes from 300 individuals from 142 diverse populations. These genomes include at least 5.8 million base pairs that are not present in the human ...
Socioeconomic inequalities in adult oral health across different ethnic groups in England
(BioMed Central, 2019)
BACKGROUND: Ethnic inequalities in oral health among British adults remain largely unexplored. This study explored the role of socioeconomic position (SEP) in explaining ethnic inequalities in oral health; and the consistency ...
Population, Epidemiological, and Functional Genetics of Gastric Cancer Candidate Genes in Peruvians with Predominant Amerindian Ancestry
(Springer, 2015)
Background. Gastric adenocarcinoma is associated with chronic infection by Helicobacter pylori and with the host inflammatory response triggered by it, with substantial inter-person variation in the immune response profile ...
Ethnic inequalities in dental caries among adults in East London
(Oxford University Press, 2015)
BACKGROUND: This study explored ethnic inequalities in dental caries among adults and assessed the role of socioeconomic position (SEP) in explaining those inequalities. METHODS: We analysed data on 2013 adults aged 16-65 ...
Latin Americans show wide-spread Converso ancestry and imprint of local Native ancestry on physical appearance
(Springer Nature, 2018)
Historical records and genetic analyses indicate that Latin Americans trace their ancestry mainly to the intermixing (admixture) of Native Americans, Europeans and Sub-Saharan Africans. Using novel haplotype-based methods, ...
