Article Abstract
The Eurasian Bronze Age (BA) has been described as a period of substantial human migrations, the emergence of pastoralism, horse domestication, and development of metallurgy. This study focuses on two north Eurasian sites sharing Siberian genetic ancestry. One of the sites, Rostovka, is associated with the Seima-Turbino (ST) phenomenon (~2200-1900 BCE) that is characterized by elaborate metallurgical objects found throughout Northern Eurasia. The genetic profiles of Rostovka individuals vary widely along the forest-tundra Siberian genetic cline represented by many modern Uralic-speaking populations, and the genetic heterogeneity observed is consistent with the current understanding of the ST being a transcultural phenomenon. Individuals from the second site, Bolshoy Oleni Ostrov in Kola, in comparison form a tighter cluster on the Siberian ancestry cline. We further explore this Siberian ancestry profile and assess the role of the ST phenomenon and other contemporaneous BA cultures in the spread of Uralic languages and Siberian ancestry.

Identification and replication of sex-dimorphic protein quantitative trait loci across multiple ancestries and their associations with diseases.

Males and females exhibit differences in proteome profiles associated with disease risk. However, sex-dimorphic protein quantitative trait loci (SD-pQTL) and their effects on sex differences in health disorders have not been thoroughly investigated. We conducted a sex-stratified, genome-wide association study on 2,922 proteins using data from 30,272 individuals of Caucasian ancestry from the UK Biobank and compared the estimated effects on protein levels of these variants in the men and women to identify SD-pQTLs.

Background: Genetic research on nicotine dependence has utilized multiple assessments that are in weak agreement.
Methods: We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of nicotine dependence defined using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-NicDep) in 61,861 individuals (47,884 of European ancestry [EUR], 10,231 of African ancestry, and 3,746 of East Asian ancestry) and compared the results to other nicotine-related phenotypes.
Results: We replicated the well-known association at the locus (lead single-nucleotide polymorphism [SNP]: rs147144681, = 1.

The Kirgiz, a Turkic-speaking ethnic group with a rich nomadic heritage, represent a pivotal population for understanding human migration and adaptation in Central Asia. However, their genetic origins and admixture history remain largely unexplored. Here, we present the first comprehensive genomic study of Kirgiz populations from Xinjiang, China (XJ.

The gotra system of exogamy is followed by the Brahmin caste group in India. This system restricts the marriage of individuals who belong to the same gotra. In genetic terms, each gotra forms an exogamous group within a population and thereby maintains a lineage.

The risk of developing diabetes-related complications is influenced by a combination of biological factors, clinical factors and social determinants of health that vary across countries and ethnic groups. Available evidence indicates that the incidence of diabetes-related complications is lower in high-income countries in Europe and North America, while other world regions have higher or variable incidence rates. By ethnicity, White individuals tend to have lower risks of most diabetes-related complications with the exception of coronary artery disease.
