Insights into the Y chromosome human diversity in Uruguay
BACKGROUND: With regard to the origin of its population and microevolutionary processes, Uruguay exhibits distinctive features that distinguish it from other countries in Latin America, while at the same time sharing several similarities. In this article, we will focus on the variability of paternal genetic lineages in two geographical regions with different histories that can be considered as examples of distinct populations for the continent. I…
Ancestría genética y estratificación social en Montevideo, Uruguay
Diversos estudios genéticos han demostrado que la población uruguaya es trihíbrida, formada por europeo/mediterráneos, indígenas y africanos, cuyo aporte varía en distintas regiones del país. Pese a que Montevideo es la capital de la República, hay escasos estudios sobre los orígenes de su población, que pueden diferir de otras regiones. En este trabajo se propone indagar sobre estos orígenes a partir de información genética en una muestra deriva…
Mitochondrial DNA in Basque Descendants from the City of Trinidad, Uruguay
Like other countries in the Americas, during its colonization Uruguay was the recipient of immigrants from several ethnic groups from Europe, as well as of enslaved Africans. After its independence in 1830, Basques were the first group of Europeans to arrive in the country. In this paper, we aim to contribute to the understanding of the process of integration of these migratory waves into the Uruguayan society. For that purpose, individuals of Ba…
Directional mating and a rapid male population expansion in a hybrid Uruguayan population
The Uruguayan population has been considered as mainly European descent, with a negligible Native American or African contributions. Based on serological and molecular markers, recent studies demonstrate that these two populations had an important influence in the conformation of the present one. To the Northeastern region of Uruguay, a 20% Native American contribution was estimated using autosomal markers and a 62% Native American female origin …
Frequencies of the Four Major Amerindian mtDNA Haplogroups in the Population of Montevideo, Uruguay
mtDNA Amerindian polymorphisms were studied in 108 inhabitants of Montevideo, Uruguay, using PCR RFLP analysis. Amerindian haplogroups were found in 20.4% of the sample. The frequency of Amerindian polymorphisms in Montevideo differed significantly from that observed in Tacuarembó, a city about 400 km away, indicating the high level of variation within Uruguay. Results for mitochondrial markers indicate that admixture occurred primarily as a resu…
Substantial native American female contribution to the population of Tacuarembó, Uruguay, reveals past episodes of sex‐biased gene flow
For many years it has been assumed that the population of Uruguay is almost exclusively European‐derived and that the biological contribution of the native population as well as of individuals of African descent is negligible. Several recent studies based on a variety of genetic markers, mostly morphological and serological markers, have produced quite a different picture of the constitution of the Uruguayan population. The Native American contri…
Consanguinity in two Uruguayan cities
The low level of consanguinity as well as the structure of consanguineous marriages (distribution by degrees) is similar to that found in other southern South American countries. Temporal trends are similar to those found in industrialized regions in Europe, with maximum inbreeding levels during the middle-late 19th century; however, the clear predominance of first cousin unions, differs from most of the data for European countries. Small differe…
Characterization of Admixture in an Urban Sample from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Using Uniparentally and Biparentally Inherited Genetic Markers
In this study we analyzed a sample of the urban population of La Plata, Argentina, using 17 mtDNA haplogroups, the DYS 199 Y-chromosome polymorphism, and 5 autosomal population-associated alleles (PAAs). The contribution of native American maternal lineages to the population of La Plata was estimated as 45.6%, whereas the paternal contribution was much lower (10.6%), clearly indicating directional mating. Regarding autosomal evidence of admixture…
Admixture in Hispanics
The effect of gene flow on Hispanic populations from different geographic regions of the United States was analyzed using six autosomal DNA markers (LDLR, GYPA, HBGG, D7S8, GC, and HLA-DQA). By region of sampling, the Hispanic populations showed different ancestry contributions, from a trihybrid structure with European, Native American, and African contributions (California, Nevada, Florida, New Jersey, and Virginia) to a dihybrid structure with …
