Strong Amerindian Mitonuclear Discordance in Puerto Rican Genomes Suggests Amerindian Mitochondrial Benefit.

Annals of human genetics - 1 Mar 2017

Massey Steven E

Abstract excerpt

A large discrepancy between the Amerindian contribution to the mitochondrial and nuclear genetic components of 55 Puerto Rican (PR) genomes from the 1000 Genomes Project is identified, with Amerindian mitochondrial haplotypes being highly represented (67.3%), in strong contrast to the Amerindian autosomal contribution (12.9%). I examine the potential causes behind this strong mitonuclear discordance. The...
