We report a genome-wide association scan in over 6,000 Latin Americans for features of
scalp hair (shape, colour, greying, balding) and facial hair (beard thickness, monobrow …

Historical records and genetic analyses indicate that Latin Americans trace their ancestry
mainly to the intermixing (admixture) of Native Americans, Europeans and Sub-Saharan …

Abstract Background Modern Latin American populations were formed via genetic admixture
among ancestral source populations from Africa, the Americas and Europe. We are …

Background Information on the prevalence of inducible urticaria (IU) in patients with chronic
spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and the factors affecting this prevalence is scarce in the …

Identifying the ancestral components of genomes of admixed individuals helps uncovering
the genetic basis of diseases and understanding the demographic history of populations …

Race mixture, or mestizaje, has played a critical role in the history, culture, and politics of
Latin America. In Degrees of Mixture, Degrees of Freedom, Peter Wade draws on a …

To characterize the genetic basis of facial features in Latin Americans, we performed a
genome-wide association study (GWAS) of more than 6000 individuals using 59 landmark …

Brazil never had segregation laws defining membership of an ethnoracial group. Thus, the
composition of the Brazilian population is mixed and its ethnoracial classification is complex …

The genetic background of the Brazilian population is mainly characterized by three parental
populations: European, African, and Native American. The aim of this study was to overview …

Humans have undergone large migrations over the past hundreds to thousands of years,
exposing ourselves to new environments and selective pressures. Yet, evidence of ongoing …
