Allozyme variation in populations of Bothrops asper (Serpentes: Viperidae in Costa Rica)
(1998-12)
We investigated allozyme variation from Costa Rican populations of the fer-de-lance, Bothrops asper. Blood samples were taken from a total of 100 specimens from six localities representing three major physiographic regions: ...
The oxidative metabolism of sparteine in the Cuna Amerindians of Panama: Absence of evidence for defient metabolizers
(1988-04-20)
Sparteine sulfate (50 mg) was administered to 170 Cuna Amerindians, 142 of whom were unrelated, and the drug and its dehydrometabolites were determined in the 0- to 12-hour urine samples. The log10 of the metabolic ratio ...
A novel myosin heavy chain gene in human chromosome 19q13.3
(Gene: 312 p. 165-171, 2003-07)
A human myosin heavy chain gene was identified in chromosome 19q13 by computational sequence analysis, RT-PCR and DNA
sequencing of the cDNA. The complete cDNA has a length of 6786 bp and comprises 41 exons (40 coding) ...
Diversidad genética y mezcla racial en los amerindios de Costa Rica y Panamá
(1993)
The genetic diversity of nine Amerindian tribes (Borne*, Bokota, Bribri, Cabecar, Gourmet, Guaymi.,
Hues's, Kuna and Teribe) from Costa Rica and Panama were analyzed using 48 loci of enzimatic systems, blood
groups and ...
Análisis de varios marcadores genéticos clásicos en la población de Costa Rica
(2001)
A study of several loci blood groups (ABO, Diego, Duffy, Kell, Kidd, Lewis, Lutheran, MNSs, P,
Rhesus and Secretor), and Hp serum protein was carried out on a sample of 2 196 unrelated Costa Rican individuals
of both ...
Genetic Structure Analysis of Three Hispanic Populations from Costa Rica, Mexico, and the Southwestern United States Using Y-Chromosome STR Markers and mtDNA Sequences
(Human Biology, October 2006, v. 78, no. 5, pp. 551–563., 2006)
Two hundred seventeen male subjects from Costa Rica, Mexico,
and the Hispanic population of the southwestern United States were
studied. Twelve Y-chromosome STRs and the HVSI sequence of the mtDNA
were analyzed to ...
Varios genes descartados como causantes de retinosis pigmentaria autosómica recesiva en dos familias costarricenses
(1998-07)
Se estudiaron dos familias costarricenses con Retinosis Pigmentaria (RP) de herencia autosomica recesiva, con el fin de descartar genes relacionados con la enfermedad. Para esto se efectuó un análisis de ligamiento con ...
Estudios evolutivos y biomédicos en dos poblaciones indígenas Guaymies de Costa Rica
(Vínculos 7(1), 1-7. 1981, 1981)
A biomedical study which included genetic, demographic, nutritional and health aspects was
carried out in two amerindian Guayrni populations, Abrojo and Limoncito, located in Southeastern
Costa Rica. Both groups originated ...
mtDNA variation in the chibcha ameridian huetar from Costa Rica
(1994)
The genetic variation in a Chibcha-speaking Amerindian tribe from lower Central America, the Huetar, was analyzed using nucleotide sequences of the hypervariable segments of the mitochondria! DNA (mtDNA) control region, ...
Global genetic variation at nine short tandem repeat loci and implications on forensic genetics
(European Journal of Human Genetics (2003) 11, 39 – 49, 2003-01)
We have studied genetic variation at nine autosomal short tandem repeat loci in 20 globally distributed
human populations defined by geographic and ethnic origins, viz., African, Caucasian, Asian, Native
American and ...
