TL;DR: The historical events that led to the formation of contemporary Latino populations are reviewed and results from recent genetic and clinical studies are used to illustrate the unique opportunity Latino groups offer for studying the interaction between racial, genetic, and environmental contributions to disease occurrence and drug response.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that empirical assessment of the effects of stratification is critical to appropriately interpret the results of case-control studies in admixed populations.

TL;DR: The interesting hypothesis that the effect of smoking on the risk of ARM is accentuated by a gene in the 10q26 region--a region implicated by four other studies is generated.

TL;DR: The overall concordance between claims records in the National Health Insurance Research Database and patient self-reports in the Taiwan National Health Interview Survey was moderate for clinical diagnosis and substantial for both medication use and health system utilization.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the HLA-DR and -DQ gene region likely poses significant genetic risk for PA, and both single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with differential DNA methylation levels at multiple CpG sites.
