    • Amerind ancestry, socioeconomic status and the genetics of type 2 Diabetes in a Colombian population 

      Campbell, Desmond D.; Parra, María V.; Duque, Constanza; Gallego, Natalia; Franco, Liliana; Tandon, Arti; Hunemeier, Tábita; Bortolini, Maria Cátira; Villegas, Alberto; Bedoya, Gabriel; McCarthy, Mark I.; Price, Alkes L.; Reich, David; Ruiz-Linares, Andres (2012) [Journal article]
      The ‘‘thrifty genotype’’ hypothesis proposes that the high prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Native Americans and admixed Latin Americans has a genetic basis and reflects an evolutionary adaptation to a past low ...

    • Genetic variation and population structure in native americans 

      Wang, Sijia; Lewis Junior, Cecil M.; Jakobsson, Mattias; Ramachandran, Sohini; Ray, Nicolas; Bedoya, Gabriel; Rojas, Winston; Parra, María V.; Molina, Julio A.; Gallo, Carla; Mazzotti, Guido; Poletti, Giovanni; Hill, Kim R.; Hurtado, Ana Magdalena; Labuda, Damian; Klitz, William; Barrantes, Ramiro; Bortolini, Maria Cátira; Salzano, Francisco Mauro; Petzl-Erler, Maria Luiza; Tsuneto, Luiza T.; Llop, Elena; Rothhammer, Francisco; Excoffier, Laurent; Feldman, Marcus W.; Rosenberg, Noah A.; Ruiz-Linares, Andres (2008) [Journal article]
      We examined genetic diversity and population structure in the American landmass using 678 autosomal microsatellite markers genotyped in 422 individuals representing 24 Native American populations sampled from North, Central, ...

      Wang, Sijia; Ray, Nicolas; Rojas, Winston; Parra, María V.; Bedoya, Gabriel; Gallo, Carla; Poletti, Giovanni; Mazzotti, Guido; Hill, Kim R.; Hurtado, Ana Magdalena; Camrena, Beatriz; Nicolini, Humberto; Klitz, William; Barrantes, Ramiro; Molina, Julio A.; Freimer, Nelson B.; Bortolini, Maria Cátira; Salzano, Francisco Mauro; Petzl-Erler, Maria Luiza; Tsuneto, Luiza T.; Dipierri, José E.; Alfaro, Emma L.; Bailliet, Graciela; Bianchi, Néstor Oscar; Llop, Elena; Rothhammer, Francisco; Excoffier, Laurent; Ruiz-Linares, Andres (2008) [Journal article]
      The large and diverse population of Latin America is potentially a powerful resource for elucidating the genetic basis of complex traits through admixture mapping. However, no genome-wide characterization of admixture ...
