Estimating Mean Growth Trajectories When Measurements Are Sparse and Age Is Uncertain
Rethinking the starch digestion hypothesis for AMY1 copy number variation in humans
Alpha‐amylase exists across taxonomic kingdoms with a deep evolutionary history of gene duplications that resulted in several α‐amylase paralogs. Copy number variation (CNV) in the salivary α‐amylase gene ( AMY1 ) exists in many taxa, but among primates, humans appear to have higher average AMY1 copies than nonhuman primates. Additionally, AMY1 CNV in humans has been associated with starch content of diets, and one known function of α‐amylase is …
Lactase non‐persistence and general patterns of dairy intake in indigenous and mestizo chilean populations
OBJECTIVES: Lactase persistence (LP) is a genetic trait that has been studied among different countries and ethnic groups. In Latin America, the frequencies of this trait have been shown to vary according to the degree of admixture of the populations. The objective of this study is to better understand the relationship between this genetic trait and dairy intake in a multiethnic context through a synthesis of studies conducted in four regions of …
Brief Communication
Lactase persistence (LP) occurs at a very low frequency in indigenous populations from Latin America, offering an opportunity to understand the relationship between this genetic trait and patterns of dairy consumption. Here, the frequency of LP is analyzed from Mapuche and ‐an adjacent‐ mestizo population inhabiting the Araucanía region. In addition to genotyping for LP, participants were surveyed in relation to general perception and consumption…
