Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo de caso-control de malformaciones congénitas en Costa Rica, utilizando expedientes clínicos de los Hospitales Nacional de Niños Carlos Sáenz Herrera y la Maternidad Carit, entre 1970 y ...
Dermatoglifos en dos poblaciones indígenas Guaymí de Costa Rica
(Revista de Biología Tropical 31(2) p.268-257, 1983-04-27)
Twenty-three palmar and digital dermatogliphic characters were examined in two Guaymi Amerindian
populations, Abrojo and Limoncito, in southeastern Costa Rica. Derrnatogliphs were analyzed in
relation to sex, bilaterality ...

Análisis de varios marcadores genéticos clásicos en la población de Costa Rica
(2001)
A study of several loci blood groups (ABO, Diego, Duffy, Kell, Kidd, Lewis, Lutheran, MNSs, P,
Rhesus and Secretor), and Hp serum protein was carried out on a sample of 2 196 unrelated Costa Rican individuals

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 ...
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 variation at twentythree microsatellite loci in sixteen human populations
(1999-08)
We have analysed genetic variation at 23 microsatellite loci in a global sample of 16 ethnically and geographically diverse human populations. On the basis of their ancestral heritage and geographic locations, the studied ...
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 ...
Allozyme variation in populations of Bothrops asper (Serpentes: Viperidae in Costa Rica)
(1998-12)
We investigated allozyme variation from Costa Rican populations of the fer-de-lance, Bothrops asper. Blood samples were taken from a total of 100 specimens from six localities representing three major physiographic regions: ...
