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 …

We studied HLA class I (HLA-A,-B) and class II (HLA-DRB1,-DQB1) allele groups and alleles
by PCR-SSP based typing in a total of 15,318 mixed ancestry Mexicans from all the states of …

The last 10 years witnessed an acceleration of our understanding of what genetic factors
underpin the risk of breast cancer. Rare high-and moderate-penetrance variants such as …

Height is one of the most sensitive indicators of well-being because it combines the external
influences of nutrition, economic wealth, health care, social equality, and other important …

Shape variation of human head hair shows striking variation within and between human
populations, while its genetic basis is far from being understood. We performed a series of …

Throughout human evolutionary history, large-scale migrations have led to intermixing (ie,
admixture) between previously separated human groups. Although classical and recent …

Humans often mate with those resembling themselves, a phenomenon described as positive
assortative mating (PAM). The causes of this attract broad interest, but there is little …

Over the past 50 years, geneticists have made great strides in understanding how our
species' evolutionary history gave rise to current patterns of human genetic diversity …

The development of precision medicine strategies requires prior knowledge of the genetic
background of the target population. However, despite the availability of data from admixed …
