High interpopulation homogeneity in Central Argentina as assessed by Ancestry Informative Markers (AIMs)
The population of Argentina has already been studied with regard to several genetic markers, but much more data are needed for the appropriate definition of its genetic profile. This study aimed at investigating the admixture patterns and genetic structure in Central Argentina, using biparental markers and comparing the results with those previously obtained by us with mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)...
متن کاملGenomic ancestry evaluated by ancestry-informative markers in patients with sickle cell disease.
The β(s) mutation is responsible for the most aggressive form of sickle cell disease, has a predominantly African origin, and arrived in Brazil through the slave trade. However, the Brazilian population is highly miscegenated, underscoring the importance of ancestry-informative markers (AIMs) for the identification of the genetic structure of a population. In this study, we have estimated the g...
متن کاملHaplotypes in SLC24A5 Gene as Ancestry Informative Markers in Different Populations
Ancestry informative markers (AIMs) are human polymorphisms that exhibit substantially allele frequency differences among populations. These markers can be useful to provide information about ancestry of samples which may be useful in predicting a perpetrator's ethnic origin to aid criminal investigations. Variations in human pigmentation are the most obvious phenotypes to distinguish individua...
متن کاملApplication of Ancestry Informative Markers to Association Studies in European Americans
Recently, whole genome association (WGA) studies have accelerated progress in the search for genetic variations underlying the inheritance of complex genetic diseases. Although population differences in allele frequencies are usually small, these studies have demonstrated the importance of accounting for population differences in order to reduce false positive associations. Even within a contin...
متن کاملAncestry informative markers clarify the regional admixture variation in the Costa Rican population.
The genetic structure of Costa Rica's population is complex, both by region and by individual, due to the admixture process that started during the 15th century and historical events thereafter. Previous studies have been done mostly on Amerindian populations and the Central Valley inhabitants using various microsatellites and mitochondrial DNA markers. Here, we study for the first time a rando...
