Amerind ancestry, socioeconomic status and the genetics of type 2 diabetes in a Colombian population.
The "thrifty genotype" hypothesis proposes that the high prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Native Americans and admixed Latin Americans has a genetic basis and reflects an evolutionary adaptation to a past low calorie/high exercise lifestyle. However, identification of the gene varian...
