1. Seroprevalence of rodent-borne viruses in Afro-descendent communities in Brazil
ABSTRACT During the Brazilian slavery period, many African migrants were brought to the American continent. Historically, some of these migrants escaped from the Brazilian gold mines and farms to which they had been brought and settled in remote valleys and this was the main mode of resistance to the slavery system. These runaway-slave descendant communities

2. Frequency of GJB2 mutations in patients with nonsyndromic hearing loss from an ethnically characterized Brazilian population
Resumo Introdução: Em diferentes partes do mundo, mutações do gene GJB2 estão associadas a perda auditiva não sindrômica e a mutação homozigótica 35delG (p.Gly12Valfs*2) é uma das principais causas de perda auditiva hereditária. No entanto, a mutação 35delG não é igualmente prevalente em todas as etnias, faz com que seja importante estudar o

3. Association of MICA gene polymorphisms with liver fibrosis in schistosomiasis patients in the Dongting Lake region
Major histocompatibility complex class I chain-related A (MICA) is a highly polymorphic gene located within the MHC class I region of the human genome. Expressed as a cell surface glycoprotein, MICA modulates immune surveillance by binding to its cognate receptor on natural killer cells, NKG2D, and its genetic polymorphisms have been recently associated with

4. Analysis of the CCR5 gene coding region diversity in five South American populations reveals two new non-synonymous alleles in Amerindians and high CCR5*D32 frequency in Euro-Brazilians
The CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) molecule is an important co-receptor for HIV. The effect of the CCR5*D32 allele in susceptibility to HIV infection and AIDS disease is well known. Other alleles than CCR5*D32 have not been analysed before, neither in Amerindians nor in the majority of the populations all over the world. We investigated the distribution of t

5. Artrite reumatoide em Afro-brasileiros : "O papel do HLA" / Rheumatoid arthritis in Afro-brazilians : "The role of HLA"
The association of histocompatibility antigens with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) comes being demonstrated in innumerable studies. However, the evaluation in afrodescendents populations still little was studied. The aim of this study has been to determine the frequency of HLA-DRB1 alleles, and the contributions of the polymorphism of these alleles in the suscept

6. Quality of life and oral esthetic in the remanescent community of quilombo de Furnas do Dionísio, Mato Grosso do Sul. / Qualidade de vida e estética bucal na comunidade remanescente de quilombo de Furnas do Dionísio, Mato Grosso do Sul
INTRODUCTION: Esthetics is to be found in all societies and has an ultimate importance for people. It is seen differently according to the culture and may bring on specific negative or positive effects on the bio-psycho-social dimension. Esthetics has a considerable bearing upon both Subjective Well-being and Quality of Life (QoL). OBJECTIVES: To investigate

7. Identidad y ciudadanía afrocolombiana en la Región Pacífica y Cali: elementos estadísticos y sociológicos para el debate de la "cuestión negra" en Colombia
Public discussion on ethnic minorities in Colombia it began again recent through the important juridical and political evolution traced by the new Colombian Constitutional Law of 1991. With the recognition of multi-ethnic and cultural diversity character of the Colombian society, and the multiculturalism institutionalization in the citizenship formation, Col

9. The Genetic Structure of Admixed Populations
A method for simultaneously estimating the admixture proportions of a hybrid population and Wright's fixation index, F(ST), for that hybrid is presented. It is shown that the variance of admixture estimates can be partitioned into two components: (1) due to sample size, and (2) due to evolutionary variance (i.e., genetic drift). A chi-square test used to det
