1. A systematic scoping review of the genetic ancestry of the Brazilian population
Abstract The genetic background of the Brazilian population is mainly characterized by three parental populations: European, African, and Native American. The aim of this study was to overview the genetic ancestry estimates for different Brazilian geographic regions and analyze factors involved in these estimates. In this systematic scoping review were inclu

2. O Enegrecimento da Psicologia: Indicações para a Formação Profissional1
Resumo Esse texto é fruto de estudos e debates iniciados em 2012 e da possibilidade de pensar o diálogo entre a Psicologia e as práticas de cuidar na espiritualidade de matriz africana. Trazendo, no contexto da resistência negra, os valores que se apresentam nos saberes dos terreiros, acolhimento, comunidade, ancestralidade, e o lugar desses saberes ao l

3. Genetic ancestry of patients with porphyria cutanea tarda in a country with mixed races: a cross-sectional study (Rio de Janeiro - Brazil)
Abstract: Porphyria cutanea tarda has a complex etiology with genetic factors not completely elucidated. The miscegenation of the Brazilian population has important implications in the predisposition to diseases. There are no studies concerning the genetic ancestry of patients with porphyria cutanea tarda from a mixed population. Thirty patients living in Ri

4. Prevalence of IFNL3 gene polymorphism among blood donors and its relation to genomic profile of ancestry in Brazil
ABSTRACT The recent development of interferon-free regimens based on direct-acting antivirals for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus infection has benefited many but not all patients. Some patients still experience treatment failure, possibly attributed to unknown host and viral factors, such as IFNL3 gene polymorphism. The present study assessed the

5. Uniparental ancestry markers in Chilean populations
Abstract The presence of Native Americans, Europeans, and Africans has led to the development of a multi-ethnic, admixed population in Chile. This study aimed to contribute to the characterization of the uniparental genetic structure of three Chilean regions. Newborns from seven hospitals in Independencia, Providencia, Santiago, Curicó, Cauquenes, Valdívia

6. High interpopulation homogeneity in Central Argentina as assessed by Ancestry Informative Markers (AIMs)
The population of Argentina has already been studied with regard to several genetic markers, but much more data are needed for the appropriate definition of its genetic profile. This study aimed at investigating the admixture patterns and genetic structure in Central Argentina, using biparental markers and comparing the results with those previously obtained

7. Ancestral association between HLA and HFE H63D and C282Y gene mutations from northwest Colombia
A significant association between HFE gene mutations and the HLA-A*03-B*07 and HLA-A*29-B*44 haplotypes has been reported in the Spanish population. It has been proposed that these mutations are probably connected with Celtic and North African ancestry, respectively. We aimed to find the possible ancestral association between HLA alleles and haplotypes assoc

8. Frequency and spectrum of hemoglobinopathy mutations in a Uruguayan pediatric population
Hemoglobinopathies are the most common recessive diseases worldwide but their prevalence in Uruguay has not been investigated. In this study, 397 unrelated outpatient children from the Pereira Rosell Hospital Center (CHPR), as well as 31 selected patients with microcytic anemia and 28 β-thalassemia carriers were analyzed for hemoglobinopathies by using bioc

9. Aproximaciones cientificas al mestizo mexicano
The colonial category of mestizo was an ideological tool that shaped national identity in the post-revolutionary period in Mexico. The Indian-mestizo axis functioned to organize the ethnic and political interactions of the state. Doctors and anthropologists reinforced this dual taxonomy in studies of human populations, using biomedical markers to produce dif

10. Comparison of mesiodistal tooth widths in Caucasian, African and Japanese individuals with Brazilian ancestry and normal occlusion
OBJETIVO: observar a presença de dimorfismo sexual e comparar a largura mesiodistal dos dentes em indivíduos brasileiros leucodermas, melanodermas e xantodermas não tratados ortodonticamente e com oclusão normal. MÉTODOS: foram utilizados 100 pares de modelos de gesso ortodônticos. As larguras mesiodistais dos dentes foram medidas de primeiro molar a p

11. Beco de vó Dola: territorialidade e ancestralidade negra em Vitória da Conquista
Upon searching to interpret Dolas Alley as a "web of meanings", entangled in the house and in the shed and in the alley itself, where the identitary subjects, with whom this anthropological work dialogues, are defined, our primary aim is to understand the family, culture and group dynamics of this group of blood and of saint. This search means a step by step

12. Association of serum lipid components and obesity with genetic ancestry in an admixed population of elderly women
The prevalence of metabolic disorders varies among ethnic populations and these disorders represent a critical health care issue for elderly women. This study investigated the correlation between genetic ancestry and body composition, metabolic traits and clinical status in a sample of elderly women. Clinical, nutritional and anthropometric data were collect
