D-Loop mtDNA deletion as a Unique marker of chibchan Ameridians [resumen]
(1994)
Carta al editor. Torroni et al. (1993) presented an extensive restriction-site analysis of Native American mtDNAs from 17 widely dis- tributed Na-Dene and Amerindian tribes. For sometime we have been analyzing mtDNA control ...
Genetic diversity and evolution of the human leptin locus tetranucleotide repeat
(Hum Genet 110; p. 412-417, 2002)
To better understand the evolutionary history
of the gene region containing the multifunctional adipose
tissue hormone leptin, we genotyped 1,957 individuals
from 12 world populations for a highly variable tetranucleo ...
Genetic variation in the Bribri and Cabecar Amerindians from Talamanca, Costa Rica
(1991)
A screening of more than 40 loci was performed in the Bribri and Cabecar Amerindian populations of Talamanca in Southeastern Costa Rica. Some differences were found in the distribution (presence or absence) of the variants ...
A Second Locus for an Axonal Form of Autosomal Recessive Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Maps to Chromosome 19q13.3
(American Journal Human Genetic ; 68 (1 p. 269-274, 2001)
Autosomal recessive Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) represents a heterogeneous group of disorders affecting the peripheral nervous system. The axonal form of the disease is designated as "CMT type 2" (CMT2), and one locus ...

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: ...
Análisis de varios marcadores genéticos clásicos en la población de Costa Rica

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 ...
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, ...
