Sentence examples for ancestry identified from inspiring English sources

All ALS patients of Sardinian ancestry, identified between 2008 and 2013 through the Italian ALS Genetic Consortium, were eligible to be included in the study.

Genome-wide expression profiling of samples of European and African ancestry identified in each population hundreds of miRNAs whose increased expression is correlated with correspondingly reduced expression of target mRNAs.

SNP effects on LoA were analyzed in the whole cohort with available genomic DNA for genotyping, and in a subcohort of participants of Caucasian ancestry, identified by MDS analysis.

A recent meta-analysis comprising >140 000 individuals of European ancestry identified 18 novel loci in addition to 10 previous known that jointly explained only 7.7% of the SUA variance, of which 3.4% was explained by SLC2A9 and ABCG2 (6).

The first series of T2D GWAS conducted in 2007 in populations of European ancestry identified eight loci at or near TCF7L2, SLC30A8, HHEX, CDKAL1, CDKN2A/B, IGF2BP2, KCNJ11, and FTO [ 28– 31].

In this study, a region flanking the DEFA1A3 locus was sequenced across 120 independent haplotypes with European ancestry, identifying five common classes of DEFA1A3 haplotype.

Thus, of the 32 European-ancestry identified BMI loci, SNP-to-SNP comparisons suggest that 18 SNPs (56%) show comparable effects on BMI in European and East Asian ancestry populations, eight SNPs (25%) are non-polymorphic in East Asians, and for six SNPs (19%) there is as yet no evidence of transferability to East Asian ancestry populations.

Miss-called ancestry was identified by comparing the known ancestry of a simulated data set of 1500 SAC chromosomes to the ancestry called by RFMix (chromosome 1).

After removing the related individuals from our maternal lines and those of European or African descent, 215 newly sequenced unrelated mtDNA genomes of Native American ancestry were identified for founder haplogroups A2, B2, C1, D1 and D4e1c (new sister lineage of D2 found in Mexican Americans).

Besides the GIPR/ QPTCL locus, the recent GWAS meta-analyses in East Asian ancestry populations identified four BMI-associated loci that had not been identified before in large-scale GWAS of European ancestry populations [ 38, 39] (Table 1 and Figures 1 and 2b).
