“…Albumin Algonquin (formerly Albumin Naskapi) is found in polymorphic frequencies in Athapaskans and Algonquians but not in Eskimos (Lampl and Blumberg 1979). Eskimos have the B allele and Subarctic Indians do not (Harper 1980). The Y chromosome haplogroup C-M130 has also been found exclusively in Athapaskan and Algonquian populations (Schurr 2004a).…”

“…Hence having a less proinflammatory immune system would provide a survival advantage to the Inuit, who have lived in an arctic environment for at least 19,000 years. 49 The IL4RA Thr57 allele could have been selected for because it is associated with a lower risk of atopy.…”

“…119,000 AN people resided in Alaska and represent 3 major ethnic groups that include Eskimo, Aleut and Alaska Indian people. Eskimos comprise 52% of the Native population and include 2 major language groups, the Yupik Eskimo of southwestern Alaska and Inupiaq (Inuit) of northern Alaska (12,13). The Inupiaq share the same language with the Inuit of Canada and Greenland.…”

ObjectivesTo describe the occurrence of pancreatic, biliary tract, and gallbladder cancers within the Alaska Native (AN) population.Study designPopulation-based analysis utilizing a tumor registry and comparative population data.MethodsPancreaticobiliary cancers rates for AN people during 1973–2007 were determined from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) AN Tumor Registry. Cancer incidence rates were age-adjusted to the World Standard Million and compared over 2 time periods with US white and black rates.ResultsDuring 1973–2007, 213 AN people developed pancreatic cancer, 73 gallbladder cancer and 61 biliary tract cancer. Pancreatic cancer occurs at similar rates in AN men and women, but data for 1993–2007 indicate that the rates among AN men may be increasing. The incidence rate in AN women (9.5/100,000) was statistically higher than in US white women (5.8/100,000). The incidence for biliary tract cancer in AN men and gallbladder cancer in AN men and women is statistically higher than that for US whites and blacks.ConclusionsPancreaticobiliary cancers, particularly biliary tract and gallbladder cancers, in both AN men and women and pancreatic cancer in women occur at an increased rate in AN people. Risk factors relating to the elevated rate are discussed. Certain factors are potentially modifiable, such as the use of tobacco and obesity.
