1. Inherited hemoglobin disorders in an Afro-Amazonian community: Saracura
The most common hemoglobinopathies, viz, hemoglobins S and C, and α-and β-thalassemias, were investigated through the molecular screening of 116 subjects from the community of Saracura, comprising fugitive African slaves from farms of the municipality of Santarém, in the west of Pará State, Brazilian Amazon. The observed frequency of the HBB*S gene (0.9%

2. β-globin haplotypes in normal and hemoglobinopathic individuals from Reconcavo Baiano, State of Bahia, Brazil
Five restriction site polymorphisms in the β-globin gene cluster (HincII-5'ε, HindIII-Gγ, HindIII-ªγ, HincII-'ψβ1 and HincII-3''ψβ1) were analyzed in three populations (n = 114) from Reconcavo Baiano, State of Bahia, Brazil. The groups included two urban populations from the towns of Cachoeira and Maragojipe and one rural Afro-descendant population,

3. Fatores genéticos associados à hipertensão essencial em populações remanescentes de quilombos do Vale do Ribeira - São Paulo / Genetic risk factors associated with essential hypertension in the quilombo populations from Ribeira River Valley - São Paulo, Brazil
A hipertensão essencial, um problema de saúde pública mundial, é uma doença multifatorial, cujo componente genético varia entre 25 a 60%. A despeito da alta prevalência e incidência da hipertensão essencial em populações de ancestralidade africana, os estudos sobre o componente genético da hipertensão essencial têm sido primariamente realizados

4. Estudos de DNA mitocondrial em populações remanescentes de quilombos do Vale do Ribeira - São Paulo / Mitochondrial DNA investigations in African-derived quilombo populations of the Ribeira River Valley - São Paulo
O Vale do Ribeira é uma área que ocupa cerca de 10% da região sul do estado de São Paulo e abriga pelo menos 30 remanescentes de quilombos. Dessas, 24 já foram oficialmente reconhecidos ou estão em fase de reconhecimento. Com a finalidade de contribuir para o conhecimento da estrutura populacional e da história de formação dessas comunidades afro-de

5. Genetic susceptibility and other risk factors associated to overweight and obesity in african-derived populations from the Ribeira River Valley - São Paulo / Susceptibilidade genética e outros fatores de risco associados ao sobrepeso e à obesidade em populações afro-descendentes do Vale do Ribeira-SP
Obesity, which is determined by multifactorial inheritance, is currently one of the most important issues concerning public health all over the world. Studies on the association of polymorphisms in genes with a possible role in the susceptibility to obesity have been conducted in different populations in the world, in order to elucidate the genetic basis tha

6. Fecundidade e genética em Kalunga : busca de associação entre dados demográficos e marcadores moleculares num remanescente de quilombo brasileiro
Kalunga is one of the most historically and numerically important quilombos reminiscent of the Brazilian center-west region. It is located at the rural zone in the northeast of Goiás state and its population is formed by slaves descendents that organize themselves in subcommunities all over the territory without geographic isolation. The aims of this work a

7. Allele frequency distributions of six hypervariable loci (D1S80, APOB, D4S43, vW1, F13A and DYS19) in two African-Brazilian communities from the Amazon region
The allele frequency distributions of three VNTR (D1S80, APOB and D4S43) and three STR (vW1, F13A1 and DYS19) loci were investigated in two Afro-Brazilian populations from the Amazon: Curiau and Pacoval. Exact tests for population differentiation revealed significant differences in allele frequency between populations only for the D1S80 and APOB loci. A stat
