Historical records and genetic analyses indicate that Latin Americans trace their ancestry mainly to the intermixing (admixture) of Native Americans, Europeans Sub-Saharan Africans. Using novel haplotype-based methods, here we infer sub-continental in over 6,500 evaluate impact regional variation on physical appearance. We find American components correspond geographically present-day structure groups, sources non-Native ancestry, admixture timings, match documented migratory flows. also...
Pharmacogenomics (PGx) is considered an emergent field in developing countries. Research on PGx the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region remains scarce, with limited information some populations. Thus, extrapolations are complicated, especially mixed In this paper, we reviewed analyzed pharmacogenomic knowledge among LAC scientific clinical community examined barriers to application. We performed a search for publications trials worldwide evaluated contribution of LAC. Next, conducted...
Previous studies indicate that individuals at high altitudes have a lower pain threshold than those living sea level. This study evaluates the differences in perception among young people an altitude of 3800 m and after acute exposure to severe hypoxic environment more 5100 m. Fourteen (BMI 22.6 ± 1.2 age 23.3 1.9 years) residing city Puno (3825 m) participated ascent Populated Center La Rinconada (>5100 m). The unilateral ischemia provocation test was used, applying pressure with manual...
The CYP1A1 isoenzyme is responsible for the biotransformation of procarcinogens, such as Benzo(a)pyrene, into reactive metabolites. Meanwhile, GSTM1 facilitates detoxification these metabolites by conjugating them with glutathione. presence CYP1A1*2A genetic variant intensifies production metabolites, and deletion gene ( GSTM1*0 ) impairs their detoxification. This enzymatic imbalance leads to formation DNA adducts, which are known contribute cancer other diseases. Given importance studying...
The Altiplano region of the South American Andes is marked by an inhospitable climate to which autochthonous human populations adapted and then developed great ancient civilizations, such as Tiwanaku culture Inca Empire. Since pre-Columbian times, different rulers established themselves around Titicaca Poopo Lakes. By time arrival Spaniards, Aymara Quechua languages were predominant on under rule Incas, although occurrence other spoken languages, Puquina Uruquilla, suggests existence ethnic...
Summary This study focuses on the genetic history of Quechua‐Lamistas, inhabitants Lamas Province in San Martin Department, Peru, who speak their own distinct variety Quechua family languages. It has been suggested that different pre‐Columbian ethnic groups from Peruvian Amazonia, like Motilones or “shaven heads”, assimilated language and then formed current native population Lamas. However, many Quechua‐Lamistas claim to be direct descendants Chankas, a famous indigenous group escaped Inca...
The diversity of the five single nucleotide polymorphisms located in genes TP53 pathway (TP53, rs1042522; MDM2, rs2279744; MDM4, rs1563828; USP7, rs1529916; and LIF, rs929271) were studied a total 282 individuals belonging to Quechua, Aymara, Chivay, Cabanaconde, Yanke, Taquile, Amantani, Anapia, Uros, Guarani Ñandeva, Kaiowá populations, characterized as Native American or having high level (> 90%) ancestry. In addition, published data pertaining 100 persons from other populations (Surui,...
Background: Chronic exposure to severe hypoxia causes an increase in hematocrit (Hct) and hemoglobin concentration ([Hb]), which can lead Excessive Erythrocytosis (EE), could impact physical performance. This work aims determine the differences six-minute walking test (6MWT) outputs between EE healthy subjects residing at more than 5000 meters. Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional study was performed on 71 men (36 25 suffering EE) living La Rinconada, Peru (5100 m). Basal levels of [Hb]...
Chronic Mountain Sickness (CMS) syndrome, combining excessive erythrocytosis and clinical symptoms in highlanders, remains a public health concern high-altitude areas, especially the Andes, with limited therapeutic approaches. The objectives of this study were to assess CMS-highlanders permanently living La Rinconada (5100-5300 m, Peru, highest city world), early efficacy acetazolamide (ACZ) atorvastatin reduce hematocrit (Hct), as well underlying mechanisms focusing on intravascular...
