Facial asymmetry and genetic ancestry in Latin American admixed populations.
Fluctuating and directional asymmetry are aspects of morphological variation widely used to infer environmental and genetic factors affecting facial phenotypes. However, the genetic basis and environmental determinants of both asymmetry types is far from being completely known. The analysis of facial asymmetries in admixed individuals can be of help to characterize the impact of a genome's hete...
متن کاملO-7: Y Chromosome Microdeletions Are Not Associated with Spontaneous Recurrent Pregnancy Loss in A Sinhalese Population in Sri Lanka
Background: Many advances have been made in reproductive medicine yet the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy remains the most common complication of pregnancy. The aetiology of spontaneous recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is multifactorial. Y chromosome microdeletions are found in approximately 7% of men with low sperm counts and, compared to the general population, a higher frequency of spontaneous...
متن کاملVariations in PROKR2, But Not PROK2, Are Associated With Hypopituitarism and Septo-optic Dysplasia
CONTEXT Loss-of-function mutations in PROK2 and PROKR2 have been implicated in Kallmann syndrome (KS), characterized by hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and anosmia. Recent data suggest overlapping phenotypes/genotypes between KS and congenital hypopituitarism (CH), including septo-optic dysplasia (SOD). OBJECTIVE We screened a cohort of patients with complex forms of CH (n = 422) for mutations ...
متن کاملSocioeconomic and Nutritional Factors Account for the Association of Gastric Cancer with Amerindian Ancestry in a Latin American Admixed Population
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 Lima (Peru) and performed a case-control genetic association study to test the contribution of African, European, or Native American ancestry to risk for gastric cancer, contro...
متن کاملHypertriglyceridemia but not diabetes status is associated with VLDL containing apolipoprotein CIII in patients with coronary heart disease.
High apoCIII concentration in apoB lipoproteins is a prominent component of atherogenic dyslipidemia, and explains the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) associated with high triglyceride (TG). We hypothesized that diabetic people have atherogenic dyslipidemia with apoCIII in excess of that accounted for by their high TG levels. We selected 30 diabetic and 30 nondiabetic persons, 15 of each w...
