Abstract: Determination of the ApoE allele distribution in five South American Amerindian tribes revealed absence of the ApoE2 allele, accompanied by high ApoE3 and low ApoE4 allele frequencies for most tribes, a distribution only previously reported for the Inuit Eskimo from Greenland.
A determinação da distribuição do alelo ApoE em cinco tribos de índios sulamericanos revelou ausência do alelo ApoE2, acompanhada por freqüência alta do alelo ApoE3 e baixa do alelo ApoE4 na maioria das tribos, uma distribuição previa…

“…For example, the apoE2 allele is absent in this relatively large sample of Tsimane subjects, which is consistent with studies of five Brazilian Amazonian tribes (Yanomami, Wayan-Apalai, Wayampi, Arara, Kayapo; Asakawa et al 1985; Crews et al 1993; Marin et al 1997); Mayans of Mexico (Kamboh, Weiss, and Ferrell 1991b); and Australian aborigines (Kamboh et al 1991a). The absence of the E2 allele in the Tsimane and these other populations may be due to selection or genetic drift.…”

“…To date, studies in Native Americans have mainly reported APOE isoform frequencies (Crews et al, 1993; Marin et al, 1997; Scacchi et al, 1997; de Andrade et al, 2000; Jaramillo‐Correa et al, 2001; Demarchi et al, 2005). An additional study provided data for two polymorphisms in the APOC1 and APOC2 genes in five Brazilian samples (de Andrade et al, 2002).…”
