Journal ArticleDOI
Maximum likelihood estimates of admixture in northeastern Mexico using 13 short tandem repeat loci
Ricardo M. Cerda-Flores,Ricardo M. Cerda-Flores,Bruce Budowle,Li Jin,Li Jin,Sara A. Barton,Ranjan Deka,Ranajit Chakraborty,Ranajit Chakraborty +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided allelic distributions of the tetrameric short tandem repeat (STR) polymorphisms in 143 Mestizos from Northeastern Mexico and compared them with D1S80 and HLA-DQA1 (n = 103).
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of three HIV-1 resistance-conferring polymorphisms (SDF1-3'A, CCR2-641, and CCR5-delta32) in global populations.
Bing Su,Bing Su,Guangyan Sun,Daru Lu,Junhua Xiao,Fang Hu,Ranajit Chakraborty,Ranjan Deka,Li Jin,Li Jin +9 more
TL;DR: This survey shows that the substantial allele frequency differences of each of these mutations translate into an extensive variation in relative hazards for AIDS in worldwide populations, however, no evidence of natural selection against the mutant gene carriers is detected.
Book
Genomic diversity : applications in human population genetics
TL;DR: This book discusses the use of Y-Chromosomal DNA Variation to Investigate Population History: Recent Male Spread in Asia and Europe, and a Mitochondrial DNA Database: Applications to Problems of Nomenclature and Population Genetics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discordant association of the CREBRF rs373863828 A allele with increased BMI and protection from type 2 diabetes in Māori and Pacific (Polynesian) people living in Aotearoa/New Zealand.

TL;DR: The results in New Zealand Polynesian adults replicate, with very similar effect sizes, the association of the A allele of CREBRF rs373863828 with higher BMI but lower odds of type 2 diabetes among Samoan adults living in Samoa and American Samoa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions Between Noncontiguous Haplotypes in the Adiponectin Gene ACDC Are Associated With Plasma Adiponectin
Jessica G. Woo,Lawrence M. Dolan,Ranjan Deka,Ritesh Kaushal,Yayun Shen,Prodipto Pal,Stephen R. Daniels,Lisa J. Martin +7 more
TL;DR: Variants of ACDC are associated with adiponectin levels in whites and African Americans, and interactions between noncontiguous ACDC haplotypes strongly influence adiponECTin levels, suggesting nonadditive and potentially cis relationships between these regions.
