Mexican Genetic map

C ny human population is different from one another, customs, food, language variations, rules, simply the everyday way of living and interrelated. Besides these differences, local, regional, and more visible worldwide scientific studies in human genetics have revealed that there are variations not only in cultural terms, but at the genetic level between human populations. Genetic variations between human populations, explain why certain groups are more prone to certain diseases such as specific types of cancer among Asian populations. Recently, a study has revealed that the Mexicans we have our genetic traits that distinguish us from other groups slightly. The genetic map was developed for the Mexican population will be useful to explain and also prevent certain diseases for which we are likely as diabetes mellitus. However, we must remember that although there are variations between human genetic and in any other species, these differences are not large enough to distinguish between races or have hierarchies between different population groups, as we have always recommended on this site must be very critical information is presented and the performance we get from it.

Revela mapa genético diferencias entre los mexicanos y otros grupos humanos

Washington. Un estudio reveló variaciones genéticas significativas de los mexicanos respecto de otros subgrupos humanos, que podrían generalizarse a los latinos en general y podrían ser utilizados para hallar vacunas específicas, informaron responsables sanitarios este lunes.
"La población mexicana está formada mayoritariamente por 65 grupos genéticos diferentes, lo que produjo una auténtica mezcla genética", explicó en rueda de prensa telefónica Gerardo Jiménez-Sánchez, director del Instituto de Medicina Genómica mexicano.

Esa mezcla es sustancialmente diferente de los otros tres subgrupos humanos identificados hasta ahora: los yoruba africanos, los caucásicos de descendencia europea y los japoneses y chinos asiáticos, según el estudio publicado este lunes en los Anales de la Academia Nacional de Ciencias estadunidense. Desde 2004, el estudio ha analizado el mapa genético de 300 mexicanos mestizos (la mayoría de la población of that country) in six different states, and 30 indigenous Zapotec of Oaxaca.

These differences in the genetic map can be generalized to Latin Americans in general, argued Julio Frenk, former Mexican Secretary of Health and dean of the School of Public Health Harvard University. "This study makes clear that the American with mixed ancestry are sufficiently different from other people so that genetic mapping is scientifically and economically viable," he said.

Similar studies conducted in Asia found among other things a genetic predisposition of Asians to hepatitis B, the report said. But the Mexican study can not yet provide answers to the recent outbreak of human influenza A/H1N1 in the country, experts say. "Obviously, the epidemic is too recent to answer that question today, but the study will provide the tools" for an answer in the future, and eventually develop vaccines with a specific genetic composition, Frenk said. "All disease is a mixture of genetics and environment," he said.
