Genome-wide Selection Scan in an Arabian Peninsula Population Identifies a <i>TNKS</i> haplotype Linked to Metabolic Traits and Hypertension

2019-09-18

Abstract excerpt

Despite the extreme and varying environmental conditions prevalent in the Arabian Peninsula, it has experienced several waves of human migrations following the out-of-Africa diaspora. Eventually, the inhabitants of the peninsula region adapted to the hot and dry environment. The adaptation and natural selection that shaped the extant human populations of the Arabian Peninsula region have been scarcely studied. In...
