1. Presence of t(14;18) translocation in healthy individuals varies according to ethnic background in the Brazilian population
Several groups have demonstrated that healthy individuals can present the t(14;18) translocation. In this report, the presence of the translocation was examined in healthy blood donors in Brazil, a country considered an ethnic melting pot. The translocation was detected by nested PCR in 227 peripheral blood samples from individuals with different ethnic back

2. A Brazilian Portuguese cross-cultural adaptation of the modified JOA scale for myelopathy
OBJECTIVES: To develop a version of the modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association (mJOA) scale that had been translated into Portuguese and cross-culturally adapted for the Brazilian population. METHODS: The well-established process of forward-backward translation was employed along with cross-cultural adaptation. RESULTS: Three bilingual translators (Eng

3. Variants of transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene and incident glucose intolerance in Japanese-Brazilians
Common variants of the transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene have been found to be associated with type 2 diabetes in different ethnic groups. The Japanese-Brazilian population has one of the highest prevalence rates of diabetes. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to assess whether two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of TCF7L2, rs790314

4. Pharmacogenetic polymorphisms in Brazilian-born, first-generation Japanese descendants
Brazil hosts the largest Japanese community outside Japan, estimated at 1.5 million individuals, one third of whom are first-generation, Brazilian-born with native Japanese parents. This large community provides a unique opportunity for comparative studies of the distribution of pharmacogenetic polymorphisms in native Japanese versus their Brazilian-born des

5. Estudo comparativo do padrão cefalométrico dos jovens mestiços nipo-brasileiros - grandezas tegumentares e esqueléticas / Comparative study of the cephalometric norms for Japanese Japanese-Brazilian descents skeletal and soft tissue measurements
Introduction: Remaining the diverse population in Brazil, the different ethnic groups can present unique skeletal and soft tissue measurements. Studies must be established to support orthodontics diagnostic and treatment plans between different races and different standards. Objective: Obtain mean normal values to soft tissue and skeletal cephalometric varia

8. Article Molecular analysis of three FUT3 gene single nucleotide polymorphisms and their relationship with the lewis erythrocytary phenotype in a human population of japanese-ancestry living in Tomé Açu, a town in the Brazilian Amazon
The Lewis blood group system involves two major antigens, Leª and Le b. Their antigenic determinants are not primary gene products but are synthesized by the transfer of sugar subunits to a precursory chain by a specific enzyme which is the product of the FUT3 gene (Lewis gene). The presence of three FUT3 gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (59T > G

11. Viver num corpo estrangeiro: sentidos e significados do ter e ser um corpo oriental para adolescentes nikkeis insatisfeitos com suas fenotipias / Living in a foreign body
The purpose of this paper (research) is to analyze how one feels and what it means to be of Asian descent in Brazil for adolescents who are unhappy with their phenotypic characteristics. The fundamental phenotype of having "slanted eyes" denounces one as a foreigner in Brazil aside from the fact that one is indeed Brazilian. In his daily life, the Nikkei ado

12. ESTUDO SOBRE A ASSOCIAÇÃO ENTRE DOENÇA PERIODONTAL E DOENÇA CARDIOVASCULAR ATEROSCLERÓTICA EM POPULAÇÃO NIPO-BRASILEIRA. / Study on the association of periodontal disease and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in a Japanese-Brazilian population.
A doença periodontal (DP) infecção bucal mais prevalente associa-se a doençassistêmicas. O periodonto poderia permitir disseminação de bactérias na circulação e fixação em paredes vasculares, favorecendo a resposta inflamatória. Especula-se que estas bactérias poderiam acelerar o processo aterosclerótico. Estudos que avaliaram esta relação t
