Pharmacogenomic implications of the evolutionary history of infectious diseases in Africa.

The pharmacogenomics journal - 1 Mar 2017

Baker J L, Shriner D, Bentley A R, Rotimi C N

Abstract excerpt

As the common birthplace of all human populations, modern humans have lived longer on the African continent than in any other geographical region of the world. This long history, along with the evolutionary need to adapt to environmental challenges such as exposure to infectious agents, has led to greater genetic variation in Africans. The vast genetic variation in Africans also extends to genes involved in the...
