Dental calculus and isotopes reveal information about ancient diet of Boccone del Povero community (1st-2nd century CE, Latium, central Italy)
Ancient genomes from a rural site in Imperial Rome (1 st –3 rd cent. CE)
The genomic legacy with the south-eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea and the Central and Western Northern-African coast funerary influence pave the way for considering people buried in QCP as resembling a Punic-derived human group
Leopoli-Cencelle (9th–15th centuries CE), a centre of Papal foundation
The present research helps shed light on the lifestyle of the inhabitants of Leopoli-Cencelle, enhancing a better understanding of the Italian Middle Ages
A multidisciplinary approach to investigate the osteobiography of the Roman Imperial population from Muracciola Torresina (Palestrina, Rome, Italy)
Concerted variation of the 3′ regulatory region of Ig heavy chain and Gm haplotypes across human continental populations
OBJECTIVES: The 3' regulatory region of the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene (IGH) includes the HS1.2 enhancer displaying length polymorphism with four known variants. The goal of the research was to provide an overview of this variability and of its evolutionary significance across human populations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We compiled published and original data on HS1.2 polymorphism in 3,100 subjects from 26 human populations. Moreover, we imput…

Mitochondrial variability in the Mediterranean area
CONTEXT: The Mediterranean area has always played a significant role in human dispersal due to the large number of migratory events contributing to shape the cultural features and the genetic pool of its populations. OBJECTIVE: This paper aims to review and diachronically describe the mitogenome variability in the Mediterranean population and the main demic diffusions that occurred in this area over time. METHODS: Frequency distributions of the l…
Mitochondrial characterisation of two Spanish populations from the Vera and Bejar valleys (Central Spain)
This survey reports the mitochondrial data of two Spanish populations living in the Vera and Bejar valleys, on the opposite slopes of the Sierra de Gredos (Central Spain), which crosses Spain east to west. The aim of the study was to characterise the mitochondrial genetic pool of the Vera and Bejar populations to investigate a putative mitogenetic differentiation between them, evidence that would support the role of the Sierra de Gredos as a gene…

Linking between genetic structure and geographical distance
Background The correlation between genetics and geographical distance has already been examined through the study of the dispersion of human populations, especially in terms of uniparental genetic markers. Aim The present work characterises, at the level of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), two new samples of Amhara and Oromo populations from Ethiopia to evaluate the possible pattern of distribution for mtDNA variation and to test the hypothesis of …
Explorative genetic association study of GSTT2B copy number variant in complex disease risks
The data highlights that GSTT2B CNV is not associated with the investigated complex diseases in Italian patients. However, further investigations are necessary to replicate these findings in larger sample sizes and to explore other health-related phenotypes
Human mitochondrial DNA variation in Southern Italy
The mtDNA analysis demonstrated that Southern Italy displays a typical pattern of Mediterranean basin variability, even though it appears plausible that Southern Italy was less affected by the effects of the Late Glacial Maximum, which reduced genetic diversity in Europe
An anthropogenetic study on the Oromo and Amhara of central Ethiopia
Blood samples from members of the Oromo and Amhara ethnic groups of central Ethiopia were tested for 10 erythrocyte protein systems: ACP1, ADA, AK1, CA2, ESD, G6PD, GLO1, HBβ, PGD, and PGM1. Differences between the two samples were relatively slight and not statistically significant. Gene frequency distributions were then analyzed in the context of the genetics of the African and Arabian peoples. Considering the erythrocyte enzyme data, the Oromo…
