Diversidad genética y mezcla racial en los amerindios de Costa Rica y Panamá
(1993)
The genetic diversity of nine Amerindian tribes (Borne*, Bokota, Bribri, Cabecar, Gourmet, Guaymi.,
Hues's, Kuna and Teribe) from Costa Rica and Panama were analyzed using 48 loci of enzimatic systems, blood
groups and ...
Genetic variation in the Bribri and Cabecar Amerindians from Talamanca, Costa Rica
(1991)
A screening of more than 40 loci was performed in the Bribri and Cabecar Amerindian populations of Talamanca in Southeastern Costa Rica. Some differences were found in the distribution (presence or absence) of the variants ...
The oxidative metabolism of sparteine in the Cuna Amerindians of Panama: Absence of evidence for defient metabolizers
(1988-04-20)
Sparteine sulfate (50 mg) was administered to 170 Cuna Amerindians, 142 of whom were unrelated, and the drug and its dehydrometabolites were determined in the 0- to 12-hour urine samples. The log10 of the metabolic ratio ...
Estudios evolutivos y biomédicos en dos poblaciones indígenas Guaymies de Costa Rica
(Vínculos 7(1), 1-7. 1981, 1981)
A biomedical study which included genetic, demographic, nutritional and health aspects was
carried out in two amerindian Guayrni populations, Abrojo and Limoncito, located in Southeastern
Costa Rica. Both groups originated ...
Genetic variation at twentythree microsatellite loci in sixteen human populations
(1999-08)
We have analysed genetic variation at 23 microsatellite loci in a global sample of 16 ethnically and geographically diverse human populations. On the basis of their ancestral heritage and geographic locations, the studied ...
Estudio biomédico de los amerindios en Costa Rica
(1985)
A partir de 1979 se realizó un programa de investigación biomédica en varias poblaciones amerindias de Costa Rica que incluye estudios demográficos, ecológicos, genéticos, epidemiológicos y de salud. Los datos demográficos ...
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease: a novel Tyr145Ser mutation in the myelin protein zero (MPZ, P0) gene causes different phenotypes in homozygous and heterozygous carriers within one family
(Neurogenetics : 4 (4) p. 191-197, 2003-07-05)
Abstract. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type IB (CMT 1B) is caused by mutations in the gene
coding for peripheral myelin protein zero (MPZ, P0) that plays a fundamental role in adhesion
and compaction of peripheral myelin. ...
Genetic diversity and evolution of the human leptin locus tetranucleotide repeat
(Hum Genet 110; p. 412-417, 2002)
To better understand the evolutionary history
of the gene region containing the multifunctional adipose
tissue hormone leptin, we genotyped 1,957 individuals
from 12 world populations for a highly variable tetranucleo ...
Uses and misuses of definitions of genetic polymorphism: A perspective from population pharmacogenetics
(1991)
Definitions of genetic polymorphism currently employed
in the pharmacological literature have been incorrectly
used (Kalow, 1984) and uncritically imported from
population genetics [e.g., Weinshilboum (1984), Evans
(1977)], ...
La estructura poblacional de dos grupos indígenas Guaymí de Costa Rica
(Revista del Hospital Nacional de Niños 17(1y2):297-307, 1982)
Fue llevado a cabo un estudio biomédico en dos poblaciones guaymi del sur de Costa Rica, Limoncito y Abrojo, que incluye datos biodemográficos y genéticos. Ambas poblaciones presentan patrones de dispersión espacial ...
