We report a genome-wide association scan for facial features in ∼6,000 Latin Americans.
We evaluated 14 traits on an ordinal scale and found significant association (P values<5 × 10 …

The current genetic makeup of Latin America has been shaped by a history of extensive
admixture between Africans, Europeans and Native Americans, a process taking place within …

We report a genome-wide association scan in >6,000 Latin Americans for pigmentation of
skin and eyes. We found eighteen signals of association at twelve genomic regions. These …

We report a genome-wide association scan in over 6,000 Latin Americans for features of
scalp hair (shape, colour, greying, balding) and facial hair (beard thickness, monobrow, …

Historical records and genetic analyses indicate that Latin Americans trace their ancestry
mainly to the intermixing (admixture) of Native Americans, Europeans and Sub-Saharan …

Here we report a genome-wide association study for non-pathological pinna morphology in
over 5,000 Latin Americans. We find genome-wide significant association at seven genomic …

The history of the Americas involved the encounter of millions of Native Americans, Europeans,
and Africans. A variable admixture of these three continental groups has taken place …

Latin Americans arguably represent the largest recently admixed populations in the world.
This reflects a history of massive settlement by immigrants (mostly Europeans and Africans) …

Ultraviolet (UV) light and incompletely understood genetic and epigenetic variations determine
skin color. Here we describe an UV- and microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (…

To characterize the genetic basis of facial features in Latin Americans, we performed a
genome-wide association study (GWAS) of more than 6000 individuals using 59 landmark-based …
