    Abstract The ancient DNA revolution provided diverse fields with an unprecedented opportunity to look back into the past and shed light on research aspects that were until now subject to speculation and inference from modern data. In particular enrichment methods that allow the targeted retrieval of millions of SNP positions from ancient human genomes, or even complete bacterial and viral genomes have the potential to revolutionize our understanding of host pathogen interactions. Ancient DNA combined with new bioinformatic tools now even allows actual allele calling for immunogenetic systems such as Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) across time and space. The coming years will provide us with frequency data of human immunity genes, such as HLA, as well as genome wide data of ancient pathogens from many time periods of human history, and will therefore provide us with a dynamic view on historical human adaptation to pathogen exposure on a population wide scale.

    Abstract Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is an idiopathic great vessel vasculitis that affects the aorta and its branches. This entity is associated with the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes. We studied DNA sequences of human leukocyte antigens (HLA) haplotypes in one pair of Mexican monozygotic twins affected by TA. HLA alleles were determined by sequence-specific priming. Genetic testing of the HLA haplotypes in both sisters were A*02 B*39 DRB1*04 DQB1*03 : 02/A*24 B*35 DRB1*16 DQB1*03 : 01. These results confirm that within the MHC are genes that determine genetic susceptibility to develop TA and sustain genetic heterogeneity of this disease among populations.

    Abstract The "human fossil" from Baradero, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, is a collection of skeleton parts first recovered by the paleontologist Santiago Roth and further studied by the anthropologist Rudolf Martin. By the end of the nineteenth century and beginning of the twentieth century it was considered one of the oldest human skeletons from South America's southern cone. Here, we present the results of an interdisciplinary approach to study and contextualize the ancient individual remains. We discuss the context of the finding by first compiling the available evidence associated with the historical information and any previous scientific publications on this individual. Then, we conducted an osteobiographical assessment, by which we evaluated the sex, age, and overall preservation of the skeleton based on morphological features. To obtain a 3D virtual reconstruction of the skull, we performed high resolution CT-scans on selected skull fragments and the mandible. This was followed by the extraction of bone tissue and tooth samples for radiocarbon and genetic analyses, which brought only limited results due to poor preservation and possible contamination. We estimate that the individual from Baradero is a middle-aged adult male. We conclude that the revision of foundational collections with current methodological tools brings new insights and clarifies long held assumptions on the significance of samples that were recovered when archaeology was not yet professionalized.

    Abstract Background: Childhood cancer is one of the primary causes of disease-related death in 5- to 14-year-old children and currently no prevention strategies exist to reduce the incidence of this disease. Childhood cancer has a larger hereditary component compared with cancer in adults. Few genetic studies have been conducted on children with cancer. Additionally, Latin American populations are underrepresented in genomic studies compared with other populations. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze germline mutations in a group of mixed-ancestry Mexican pediatric patients with solid and hematological cancers.
    Methods: We analyzed genetic variants from 40 Mexican childhood cancer patients and their relatives. DNA from saliva or blood samples was used for whole-exome sequencing. All variants were identified following GATK best practices.
    Results: We found that six patients (15%) were carriers of germline mutations in CDKN2A, CHEK2, DICER1, FANCA, MSH6, MUTYH, NF1, and SBDS cancer predisposition genes, and additional new variants predicted to be deleterious by in silico algorithms. A population genetics analysis detected five components consistent with the demographic models assumed for modern mixed-ancestry Mexicans.
    Conclusions: This report identifies potential genetic risk factors and provides a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of childhood cancer in this population.

    Title translation The role of population genetics of Mexico in transplant immunology.
    Abstract This review focuses on six transcendental aspects that affect transplant immunology in Mexico: in first place, several immune factors which may lead to graft loss are highlighted; then, some features of the biological variability present in Mexican populations are pointed out in the context of their adaptive and sociopolitical history, leading to the discussion on the genetic diversity within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and the importance of resolution in genotypic characterization of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and related systems on the basis of human intra-population variability. Critical points on the interpretation of serological reactivity of anti-HLA antibodies are discussed in function of allelic frequency as a probability of finding a variant in a finite population. Finally, evidence of influence of other genetic systems on the recipient-graft relationship is emphasized.

    Abstract Machu Picchu originally functioned as a palace within the estate of the Inca emperor Pachacuti between ~1420 and 1532 CE. Before this study, little was known about the people who lived and died there, where they came from or how they were related to the inhabitants of the Inca capital of Cusco. We generated genome-wide data for 34 individuals buried at Machu Picchu who are believed to have been retainers or attendants assigned to serve the Inca royal family, as well as 34 individuals from Cusco for comparative purposes. When the ancient DNA results are contextualized using historical and archaeological data, we conclude that the retainer population at Machu Picchu was highly heterogeneous with individuals exhibiting genetic ancestries associated with groups from throughout the Inca Empire and Amazonia. The results suggest a diverse retainer community at Machu Picchu in which people of different genetic backgrounds lived, reproduced, and were interred together.

    Abstract Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest cancers in humans, with less than 5% 5-year survival rate. PDAC is characterized by a small number of recurrent mutations, including KRAS, CDKN2A, TP53, and SMAD4 and a long "tail" of infrequent mutated genes. Most of the studies have been performed in US and European populations, so new studies are needed to describe the mutational landscape of these tumors in other cohorts. The present study analyzed the exome and transcriptome of four PDAC tumors from Mexican patients. We found a paucity of the previously described recurrent mutations, with mutations in only three genes (HERC2, CNTNAP2 and HMCN1) previously reported in PDAC with a frequency > 1%. In addition, we discovered several recurrent putative copy number aberrations in SKP2, BRAF, CSSF1R, FOXE1, JAK2 and MET genes and in genes previously reported as putative drivers in PDAC, including KRAS, SF3B1, BRAF, MYC and MET. Although a larger cohort is needed to validate these findings, our results could be pointing toward potential differences in contributing factors for PDAC in Latin-American populations.
