MICA polymorphism in South American Indians

Immunogenetics, 2002
We have studied the MICA alleles of 196 unrelated subjects from three South American Indian tribes (Toba, Wichi and Terena). They are members of isolated tribes located in the Gran Chaco area in northeastern Argentina and in Mato Grosso do Sul in South Central Brazil.

Chromosomal breakage in leukocytes of South American Indians

Cytogenetics and Cell Genetics, 2008
Cytogenetic studies were performed in 1969, 1970, and 1971 on the Yanomama and Piaroa Indians of Venezuela. The early studies involved 49 Yanomama, of whom 13 had 23 cells with extensive chromosome breakage and rearrangement, so-called complex cells. The virtual disappearance of these complex cells in subsequent studies of the Yanomama was accompanied ...

North and South American Indian Music

The Journal of American Folklore, 1967
as a nonspecialist, I am impressed by the competence of this group. A third point of interest is much more academic, but it is one which should be food for thought for folklorists concerned with the "folksong revival" and with other sorts of transfer of folklore from a rural habitat to a foreign or urban culture.

South and Central American Indian Languages

1977
Data from numerous maps have been consolidated for the maps in the present volume. The major contributions, however, have been those of Swanton for North America and the wall map of Loukotka for South America. It is hoped that the maps in the present volume will be found useful in spite of the deficiencies which plague attempts to include a great range

Esterase D in South American Indians.

American journal of human genetics, 1976
Significant variation in the frequency of Esterase D isoenzymes was found in 1,070 individuals belonging to eight South American Indian tribes. The Es D1 allele shows frequencies varying from .36 to 1. A region of low prevalence of this allele seems to exist in northern Brazil, involving the Parakanan, Gorotire, and Krahó.
