Population Genetics of Latvians in the Context of Admixture between North-Eastern European Ethnic Groups

2018

Abstract This article presents a review on population genetics of Latvians, which alongside Lithuanians are the two extant Baltic speaking populations. The article provides a description of genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data and contains a comparative analysis of the results of studies performed on classical autosomal genetic markers, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and the non-recombining part of the Y chromosome (NRY), with data on neighbouring populations. The study also covers data of recently performed ancient DNA (aDNA) studies carried out on samples from the territory of today’s Latvia. The results of population genetic studies have shown a mixture of eastern and western…

The link between mitochondrial DNA hypervariable segment I heteroplasmy and ageing among genetically unrelated Latvians

2011

International audience; Various studies have demonstrated that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) heteroplasmy tends to increase with age and that the observed frequency of heteroplasmy among populations mostly depends on the way it is measured. Therefore, we investigated age-related association on the presence of mtDNA heteroplasmy within the hypervariable segment 1 (HVS-I) in a selected study group. The study group consisted of 300 maternally unrelated Latvians ranging in age from 18 to over 90years. To determine the optimal method for mtDNA heteroplasmy detection, three approaches were used: (i) SURVEYORTM Mutation Detection Kit, (ii) sequencing and (iii) denaturing gradient-gel electrophoresis (…
