Abstract excerpt
Amerindian ancestry appears to be a risk factor for metabolic diseases (MetD), making Mexicans an ideal population to better understand the genetic architecture of metabolic health. In this study, we determine the association of genetic variants previously reported with metabolic entities, in two Mexican populations, including the largest sample of Amerindians reported to date. We investigated the association of...
