Assessment of cardiovascular disease risk factors in a genetically homogenous population of Parsi Zoroastrians in the United States
OBJECTIVE: Genetically isolated and homogenous populations are ideal for detecting genes underlying common complex diseases. The use of isolated populations with reduced disease heterogeneity has led to significant gene discoveries in the past. The aim of this pilot study was to assess the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk phenotypes in a genetically homogenous population of Parsi Zoroastrians in the United States. METHODS: Anthropo…
Vitamin D heritability and effect of pregnancy status in Vervet monkeys ( Chlorocebus aethiops sabaeus ) under conditions of modest and high dietary supplementation
OBJECTIVES: The two objectives of the current study were to: 1) investigate the genetic contributions to variations in serum vitamin D concentrations under two dietary conditions (a standard monkey biscuit diet vs. a diet designed to model typical American consumption); and 2) explore the interaction of vitamin D with pregnancy status using a cohort of pedigreed female vervet/African green monkeys. METHODS: This study includes 185 female (≥3.5 ye…
Anthropometric Variation Among Bering Sea Natives
Recent research indicates that anthropometrics can be used to study microevolutionary forces acting on humans. We examine the use of morphological traits in reconstructing the population history of Aleuts and Eskimos of the Bering Sea. From 1979 to 1981, W. S. Laughlin measured a sample of St. Lawrence Island Eskimos and Pribilof Island Aleuts. These samples included adult participants from St. George and St. Paul in the Pribilof Islands and from…
