Genetic diversity of 23 STR loci of the Guizhou Tujia ethnic minority and the phylogenetic relationships with 22 other populations
CONCLUSION: We first obtained the population genetic data of Guizhou Tujia using the 23 STR system and demonstrated its value in forensic applications. Comprehensive population comparisons showed an evident genetic affinity pattern between populations that are geographically, ethnically and linguistically related.PMID:37431941 | DOI:10.1080/03014460.2023.2224971 (Source: Annals of Human Biology)

Child growth and armed conflict
CONCLUSIONS: The conclusions to all three studies may be summarised, with regard to children in industrialised nations, as: (1) armed conflict adversely affects human growth and health, (2) armed conflict affects all age groups but adolescents more so, (3) all age groups recover from poor growth as conditions improve in relation to post-war health and welfare programmes, (4) pre-war differences in size between SES groups diminish during post-war recovery when accompanied by nutritional, welfare and reconstruction programmes.PMID:37417327 | DOI:10.1080/03014460.2023.2224059 (Source: Annals of Human Biology)

Geolocation prediction from STR genotyping: a pilot study in five geographically distinct global populations
CONCLUSIONS: Three different prediction models have been proposed for genotype to geolocation prediction, i.e. (i) use of unique genotypes of a population, (ii) use of the most frequent genotype, and (iii) a combinatorial approach of unique and most frequent genotypes. These models could aid the investigating agencies in cases where no reference sample is available for comparison of the profile.PMID:37401375 | DOI:10.1080/03014460.2023.2217382 (Source: Annals of Human Biology)

Sex-dependent association of DNA methylation in the coding region of the corticotropin-releasing hormone gene and schizophrenia spectrum disorder
CONCLUSIONS: Differences in CRH methylation were detectable in the peripheral blood of patients with SSD. Epigenetic abnormalities in the CRH gene were closely related to positive symptoms of SSD, suggesting that epigenetic processes may mediate the pathophysiology of SSD.PMID:37401376 | DOI:10.1080/03014460.2023.2212176 (Source: Annals of Human Biology)
