Rapid Adaptive Increase of Amylase Gene Copy Number in Indigenous Andeans

2025-03-29

Abstract excerpt

The salivary amylase gene (AMY1) exhibits remarkable copy number variation linked to dietary shifts in human evolution. While global studies highlight its structural complexity and association with starch-rich diets, localized selection patterns remain under explored. Here, we analyzed AMY1 copy number in 3,723 individuals from 85 populations, revealing that Indigenous Peruvian Andean populations possess the highe...
