    • A GWAS in Latin Americans highlights the convergent evolution of lighter skin pigmentation in Eurasia 
      Adhikari, Kaustubh; Mendoza-Revilla, Javier; Sohail, Anood; Fuentes Guajardo, Macarena; Lampert, Jodie; Chacón-Duque, Juan Camilo; Hurtado, Malena; Villegas, Valeria; Granja, Vanessa; Acuña-Alonzo, Victor; Jaramillo, Claudia; Arias, William; Lozano, Rodrigo Barquera; (Nature Publishing Group, 2019)
      We report a genome-wide association scan in >6,000 Latin Americans for pigmentation of skin and eyes. We found eighteen signals of association at twelve genomic regions. These include one novel locus for skin pigmentation ...
    • Adaptation to milking agropastoralism in Chilean goat herders and nutritional benefit of lactase persistence 
      Montalva, Nicolás; Adhikari, Kaustubh; Liebert, Anke; Mendoza Revilla, Javier; Flores, Sergio V.; Mace, Ruth; Swallow, Dallas M. (Wiley, 2019)
      The genetic trait of lactase persistence (LP) evolved as an adaptation to milking pastoralism in the Old World and is a well-known example of positive natural selection in humans. However, the specific mechanisms conferring ...
    • Admixture in Latin America: Geographic Structure, Phenotypic Diversity and Self-Perception of Ancestry Based ... 
      Ruiz Linares, Andrés; Adhikari, Kaustubh; Acuña Alonzo, Víctor; Quinto Sánchez, Mirsha; Jaramillo, Claudia; Arias, William; Fuentes, Macarena; Pizarro, María; Everardo, Paola; de Avila, Francisco; Gómez Valdés, Jorge; León Mimila, Paola; Hunemeier, Tábita; Ramallo, Virginia; Silva de Cerqueira, Caio C.; Burley, Mari-Wyn; Konca, Esra; Zagonel de Oliveira, Marcelo; Veronez, Mauricio Roberto; Rubio Codina, Marta; Attanasio, Orazio; Gibbon, Sahra; Ray, Nicolás; Gallo, Carla; Poletti, Giovanni; Rosique, Javier; Schuler Faccini, Lavinia; Salzano, Francisco M.; Bortolini, Maria-Cátira; Canizales Quinteros, Samuel; Rothhammer Engel, Francisco; Bedoya, Gabriel; Balding, David; González José, Rolando (Public Library of Science, 2014)
      The current genetic makeup of Latin America has been shaped by a history of extensive admixture between Africans, Europeans and Native Americans, a process taking place within the context of extensive geographic and social ...
    • Obesity, genomic ancestry, and socioeconomic variables in Latin American mestizos 
      Ruderman, Anahí; Pérez, Luis O.; Adhikari, Kaustubh; Navarro, Pablo; Ramallo, Virginia; Gallo, Carla; Poletti, Giovanni; Bedoya, Gabriel; Bortolini, Maria C.; Acuña Alonzo, Víctor; Canizales Quinteros, Samuel; Rothhammer Engel, Francisco; Ruiz Linares, Andrés; González José, Rolando (Wiley-Liss Inc., 2019)
      Objectives: This article aims to assess the contribution of genomic ancestry and socioeconomic status to obesity in a sample of admixed Latin Americans. Methods: The study comprised 6776 adult volunteers from Brazil, Chile, ...
    • Variation in dental morphology and inference of continental ancestry in admixed Latin Americans 
      Delgado, Miguel; Ramírez, Luis Miguel; Adhikari, Kaustubh; Fuentes Guajardo, Macarena; Zanolli, Clément; González José, Rolando; Canizales, Samuel; Bortolini, Maria Catira; Poletti, Giovanni; Gallo, Carla; Rothhammer Engel, Francisco; Bedoya, Gabriel; Ruiz Linares, Andrés (Wiley-Liss Inc., 2019)
      © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Objectives: To investigate the variation in dental nonmetric traits and to evaluate the utility of this variation for inferring genetic ancestry proportions in a sample of admixed Latin ...
