A tale of agriculturalists and hunter‐gatherers: Exploring the thrifty genotype hypothesis in native South Americans
OBJECTIVES: To determine genetic differences between agriculturalist and hunter-gatherer southern Native American populations for selected metabolism-related markers and to test whether Neel's thrifty genotype hypothesis (TGH) could explain the genetic patterns observed in these populations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 375 Native South American individuals from 17 populations were genotyped using six markers (APOE rs429358 and rs7412; APOA2 rs5082; CD…
Brief communication: 5‐HTTLPR genetic diversity and mode of subsistence in Native Americans
The relationship between the “individualism‐collectivism” and the serotonin transporter functional polymorphism (5‐HTTLPR), suggested in the previous reports, was tested in Native South Amerindian populations. A total of 170 individuals from 21 populations were genotyped for the 5‐HTTLPR alleles. For comparative purposes, these populations were classified as individualistic (recent history of hunter–gathering) or collectivistic (agriculturalists)…
The population genetics of quechuas, the largest native south american group: Autosomal sequences, SNPs, and microsatellites evidence high level of diversity
Elucidating the pattern of genetic diversity for non‐European populations is necessary to make the benefits of human genetics research available to individuals from these groups. In the era of large human genomic initiatives, Native American populations have been neglected, in particular, the Quechua, the largest South Amerindian group settled along the Andes. We characterized the genetic diversity of a Quechua population in a global setting, usi…
Body size, composition, and blood pressure of high‐altitude Quechua from the Peruvian Central Andes (Huancavelica, 3,680 m)
Although much information is available about the effects of high altitude on physiological characteristics, less is know about its effect on body composition. In the present study, anthropometric and body composition variables were investigated in a sample of 77 adult Quechua males from the Peruvian Central Andes (Huancavelica, 3,680 m). The subjects are shorter in relation to body weight than other ethnic groups, whereas body proportions are mac…
Lung volume, chest size, and hematological variation in low‐, medium‐, and high‐altitude Central Asian populations
