Epidemiología y ecología del cáncer gástrico en Costa Rica
(Bol Oficina Sanit Panam journal 95(6) p. 495 - 506, 1983-12)
Para analizar la epidemiología del cáncer gástrico en Costa Rica y la posible influencia de algunos factores ecológicos en su incidencia anual, se utilizaron datos de los archivos deI Registro Nacional de Tumores, estos ...
Phenylketonuria in Costa Rica: preliminary spectrum of PAH mutations and their associations with highly polymorphic haplotypes
(1996)
A preliminary evaluation of the molecular basis of phenylketonuria (PKU) in Costa Rica was made by performing mutational analyses in the six PKU families identified to date. These studies revealed the presence of the ...
Ancestry Informative Markers Clarify the Regional Admixture Variation in the Costa Rican Population
(Human Biology Open Access Pre-Prints. Paper 34., 2013-10-09)
Study for the first time a random sample from all regions of the country with AIMS (Ancestry Informative Markers) to address the individual and regional admixture proportions. A sample of 160 male individuals was screened ...
Gene admixture in the Costa Rican population
(Ann Hum Genet; 67 (1) p. 71-80, 2003)
The general population of Costa Rica has sometimes been considered to be the product of an amalgamation
of groups of diverse origin. To determine the magnitude of accumulated admixture since Spanish colonization,
11 ...
Estudio biomédico de los amerindios en Costa Rica
(1985)
A partir de 1979 se realizó un programa de investigación biomédica en varias poblaciones amerindias de Costa Rica que incluye estudios demográficos, ecológicos, genéticos, epidemiológicos y de salud. Los datos demográficos ...
Migration and Genetic Infrastructure of the Central American Guaymi and Their Affinities With Other Tribal Groups
(American Journal of Phisical Antropology: 58 p.201-214, 1982-06)
New genetic data on 40 red cell enzymes, antigenic blood groups, and serum proteins representing 42 separate loci, are reported for two Guaymi communities in Southeastern Costa Rica. These two settlements, Limoncito and ...
Blood Group, Red Cell, and Serum Protein Variation in the Cabecar and Huetar, Two Chibchan Amerindian Tribes of Costa Rica
(American Journal Human Biology ;13 (1): p. 57-64, 2001)
Genetic variation, using blood groups and red cell and serum proteins, was surveyed in the Cabecar of Chirripo and the Huetar of Quitirrisi, Costa Rica. Thirty-nine loci were screened in a sample of 91 Cabecars and 40 loci ...
Genetic diversity and evolution of the human leptin locus tetranucleotide repeat
(Hum Genet 110; p. 412-417, 2002)
To better understand the evolutionary history
of the gene region containing the multifunctional adipose
tissue hormone leptin, we genotyped 1,957 individuals
from 12 world populations for a highly variable tetranucleo ...
Uses and misuses of definitions of genetic polymorphism: A perspective from population pharmacogenetics
(1991)
Definitions of genetic polymorphism currently employed
in the pharmacological literature have been incorrectly
used (Kalow, 1984) and uncritically imported from
population genetics [e.g., Weinshilboum (1984), Evans
(1977)], ...
Global genetic variation at nine short tandem repeat loci and implications on forensic genetics
(European Journal of Human Genetics (2003) 11, 39 – 49, 2003-01)
We have studied genetic variation at nine autosomal short tandem repeat loci in 20 globally distributed
human populations defined by geographic and ethnic origins, viz., African, Caucasian, Asian, Native
American and ...
