Limited knowledge on dementia biomarkers in Latin American and Caribbean (LAC)
countries remains a serious barrier. Here, we reported a survey to explore the ongoing work …

Here we report a genome-wide association study for non-pathological pinna morphology in
over 5,000 Latin Americans. We find genome-wide significant association at seven genomic …

Throughout human history, large-scale migrations have facilitated the formation of
populations with ancestry from multiple previously separated populations. This process …

The forced relocation of several thousand Africans during Mexico's historic period has so far
been documented mostly through archival sources, which provide only sparse detail on their …

On average, Peruvian individuals are among the shortest in the world. Here we show that
Native American ancestry is associated with reduced height in an ethnically diverse group of …

The human dimension of the Columbian Exchange entailed substantial genetic admixture
between ancestral source populations from Africa, the Americas and Europe, which had …

Latin Americans arguably represent the largest recently admixed populations in the world.
This reflects a history of massive settlement by immigrants (mostly Europeans and Africans) …

To function properly, mitochondria utilize products of 37 mitochondrial and> 1,000 nuclear
genes, which should be compatible with each other. Discordance between mitochondrial …

The history of the Americas involved the encounter of millions of Native Americans,
Europeans, and Africans. A variable admixture of these three continental groups has taken …

The human face represents a combined set of highly heritable phenotypes, but knowledge
on its genetic architecture remains limited, despite the relevance for various fields. A series …
