A population study for the F13B locus was carried out in a total of 396 South American individuals. The analysis comprised new data from 5 Amerindian populations, existing data from 3 Amerindian populations, and I urban sample from La Plata, Argentina. In both pooled Amerindian and La Plata samples, 6 alleles were found. The individual Amerindian samples showed a lower number of alleles, changes in modal alleles, and restricted variability. Interpopulation comparisons revealed significant differences among samples from distinct geographical regions. Differences among the groups were also corroborated by the F(ST) statistic. Data support the hypothesis that genetic drift and gene flow influence Amerindian differentiation.

Genetic variations and population data on five supplementary STR markers in Lebanon.

Population representative short tandem repeat (STR) allele frequencies are crucial for proper probabilistic interpretation of DNA forensic evidence. STR allele frequencies also provide information about the genetic diversity of a given population. The Lebanese population is characterized by the presence of more than 18 religious communities that have high recorded rates of endogamous and consanguineous marriages, where the choice of marriages is mainly influenced by their respective geographical distributions and religious affiliation.

Purpose: To determine the effects of chromosome 1 genotype and cigarette smoking on levels of complement activation and inflammation in the human macula.
Methods: Donor macular tissue was stratified into three groups by diplotype at the AMD-associated CFH-to-F13B locus: homozygous "risk" (n = 9, 56-78 years), homozygous neutral (n = 2, 64-79 years), and homozygous "protective" (n = 6, 61-78 years) diplotype. Importantly, all donors were homozygous nonrisk at the ARMS2/HTRA1 locus, so that purely chromosome 1-directed pathways were examined.
Clinical validation of a genetic model to estimate the risk of developing choroidal neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

Predictive tests for estimating the risk of developing late-stage neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are subject to unique challenges. AMD prevalence increases with age, clinical phenotypes are heterogeneous and control collections are prone to high false-negative rates, as many control subjects are likely to develop disease with advancing age. Risk prediction tests have been presented previously, using up to ten genetic markers and a range of self-reported non-genetic variables such as body mass index (BMI) and smoking history.

Eur J Hum Genet
February 2009
Department of Evolutionary Genetics, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig, Germany.
Electrophoretic analysis of protein variation at the coagulation F13B locus has previously revealed three alleles, with alleles 1, 2, and 3 each being at high frequency in European, African, and Asian populations, respectively. To determine if this unusual pattern of interpopulation differentiation reflects local natural selection or neutral genetic drift, we re-sequenced 4.6 kb of the gene, encompassing all exons, splice junctions, and 1.
