TLDR
An analysis of admixture in thirteen Mestizo populations from seven countries in Latin America based on data for 678 autosomal and 29 X-chromosome microsatellites found extensive variation in Native American and European ancestry among populations and individuals and evidence that admixture across Latin America has often involved predominantly European men and both Native and African women.Abstract:
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 across Latin America has yet been attempted. Here, we report an analysis of admixture in thirteen Mestizo populations (i.e. in regions of mainly European and Native settlement) from seven countries in Latin America based on data for 678 autosomal and 29 X-chromosome microsatellites. We found extensive variation in Native American and European ancestry (and generally low levels of African ancestry) among populations and individuals, and evidence that admixture across Latin America has often involved predominantly European men and both Native and African women. An admixture analysis allowing for Native American population subdivision revealed a differentiation of the Native American ancestry amongst Mestizos. This observation is consistent with the genetic structure of pre-Columbian populations and with admixture having involved Natives from the area where the Mestizo examined are located. Our findings agree with available information on the demographic history of Latin America and have a number of implications for the design of association studies in population from the region.read more

TL;DR: The disappearance of H. pylori from the human microbiota may be linked to emerging epidemics of esophageal adenocarcinoma, some allergic diseases such as asthma and some autoimmune disorders, apparently brought about by improved home sanitation and widespread use of antibiotics during the last decades.

TL;DR: This study investigates genomic diversity of recently admixed population isolates from Costa Rica and Colombia and compares their diversity to a benchmark population isolate, the Finnish, finding that Latin American isolates have increased genetic diversity relative to the Finnish and that recent consanguinity increased the number of deleterious variants found in the homozygous state.

Inference of population structure using multilocus genotype data
TL;DR: Pritch et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a model-based clustering method for using multilocus genotype data to infer population structure and assign individuals to populations, which can be applied to most of the commonly used genetic markers, provided that they are not closely linked.

TL;DR: Significant nonrandom association between two markers located 22 cM apart (FY-null and AT3) is detected, most likely due to admixture linkage disequilibrium created in the interbreeding of the two parental populations, emphasize the importance of admixed populations as a useful resource for mapping traits with different prevalence in two parental population.
