Amerindian genetic ancestry as a risk factor for tuberculosis in an amazonian population. by Diana Feio da Veiga Borges Leal, Mayara Natália Santana da Silva, Débora Cristina Ricardo de Oliveira Fernandes, Juliana Carla Gomes Rodrigues, Maria Clara da Costa Barros, Pablo Diego do Carmo Pinto, Lucas Favacho Pastana, Cleonardo Augusto da Silva, Marianne Rodrigues Fernandes, Paulo Pimentel de Assumpção, Sidney Emanuel Batista Dos Santos, Ney Pereira Carneiro Dos Santos

“…In recent years, the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) has declined worldwide, although this disease still occurs at relatively high rates in Amerindian populations. This suggests that the genetic ancestry of Amerindians may be an important factor in the development of infections, and may account for at least some of the variation in infection rates in the different populations. …”

Genetic Factors Associated with COPD Depend on the Ancestral Caucasian/Amerindian Component in the Mexican Population by Gloria Pérez-Rubio, Ramcés Falfán-Valencia, Juan Carlos Fernández-López, Alejandra Ramírez-Venegas, Rafael de Jesús Hernández-Zenteno, Fernando Flores-Trujillo, Irma Silva-Zolezzi

“…In this study, 118 individuals were identified with a high Caucasian component and 712 with a high Amerindian component. Independent of the ancestral contribution, two SNPs were associated with a reduced risk (<i>p</i> ≤ 0.01) of developing COPD in the <i>CYP2A6</i> (rs4105144) and <i>CYP2B6</i> (rs10426235) genes; however, a haplotype was associated with an increased risk of COPD (<i>p</i> = 0.007, OR = 2.47) in the <i>CHRNA5-CHRNA3</i> loci among smokers with a high Caucasian component. …”
