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 at twentythree microsatellite loci in sixteen human populations
(1999-08)
We have analysed genetic variation at 23 microsatellite loci in a global sample of 16 ethnically and geographically diverse human populations. On the basis of their ancestral heritage and geographic locations, the studied ...
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 ...
Distribution and Evolution of CTG Repeats at the Myotonin Protein Kinase Gene in Human Populations
(1996)
We have analyzed the CTG repeat length and the neighboring Alu insertion/deletion (+/-) polymorphism in DNA samples from 16 ethnically and geographically diverse human populations to understand the evolutionary dynamics ...
