  • Ireland has a population of just 4.5 million but there are an estimated 70-80 million people with Irish ancestry out there today - this suggests that there are good odds that your ancestors may have come from Ireland. (livingdna.com)
  • for example, individuals of African descent have been found to be at higher risk of asthma than those of European ancestry. (wikipedia.org)
  • Multivariable adjusted Cox models evaluated any link between West African ancestry and risk of CVD events such as heart failure, death, and nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI). (aacc.org)
  • Overall, the investigators found an association between a higher proportion of West African ancestry and moderately lower risk for CVD, after adjusting for potential confounders. (aacc.org)
  • Increasing West African ancestry proportion was associated with higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, higher rates of never smokers, and lower rates of Framingham Risk Scores. (aacc.org)
  • This is the first step towards the long-term goal of constructing a genetic risk model for OC that allows for genetic testing and quantification of risk in individuals. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Based on these reports, it can be estimated that between 15 and 52 % of the global risk for developing OC can be attributed to genetic factors. (biomedcentral.com)
  • One such panel was created for African American ancestry based on subsets of commercially available SNP arrays. (wikipedia.org)
  • But the mistakes made by the burgeoning genetic-ancestry industry have continued prompting Gates to start his own DNA-tracing company, one that he says will be able to take a more refined look at African-American ancestry. (diverseeducation.com)

  • If there's a match, African Ancestry sends a "Certificate of Ancestry," signed by Kittles, attesting that the customer "shares maternal genetic ancestry" with a particular ethnic group living in Africa today. (diverseeducation.com)
  • A study in JAMA Cardiology found no significant associations between West African ancestry and blood pressure (BP), kidney function, and left ventricular mass changes in response to antihypertensive therapy. (aacc.org)
  • Baseline BP didn't vary much across increasing tertiles of West African ancestry. (aacc.org)
  • Over time, however, the researchers did not find any significant differences in long-term trajectories of BP, kidney function changes, and left ventricular mass across tertiles of West African ancestry proportion. (aacc.org)
  • There was no difference in the number of antihypertensive agents required to achieve target BP control across the West African ancestry distribution," reported the study authors. (aacc.org)
  • Background Anthropological and genetic data agree in indicating the African continent as the main place of origin for modern human. (biorxiv.org)
  • Differences we observe clinically between self-identified racial/ethnic groups do not necessarily imply a genetic/biological difference. (aacc.org)
  • Our data are the first to show that race differences in slow-wave sleep may have an independent and significant genetic basis," said senior author Martica Hall, professor of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh. (blogspot.com)
