Diabetes risk gene 'from Neanderthal'

Quote:

A gene variant that seems to increase the risk of diabetes in Latin Americans appears to have been inherited from Neanderthals, a study suggests.

We now know that modern humans interbred with a population of Neanderthals shortly after leaving Africa 6,000 years ago.


This means that Neanderthal genes are now scattered across the genomes of all non-Africans living today.

Details of the study appear in the journal Nature.

The gene variant was detected in a large genome-wide association study (GWAS) of more than 8,000 Mexicans and other Latin Americans. The GWAS approach looks at many genes in different individuals, to see whether they are linked with a particular trait.

People who carry the higher risk version of the gene are 25% more likely to have diabetes than those who do not, and people who inherited copies from both parents are 50% more likely to have diabetes.

The higher risk form of the gene - named SLC16A11 - has been found in up to half of people with recent Native American ancestry, including Latin Americans.
Moire ridiculous science "so-called":

Basically, the report says that if you are a "Son of Ham", a beaner, or your ancestors "went in unto" a monkey, you're diabetic.

I'm not diabetic. I stopped wearing jeans when I was 50. Jesus takes care of me. :thumbsup:

According to this "study" negroes who come from homo erectus and not neanderthal could never get diabetes, right? I mean they can devour all the fried chicken, watermelon and purple drank they like, right? :watermelon:

Were this true why are negroes so afflicted by God with diseases such as HIV, sickle cell and down-low syndrome?

I just want to make one thing entirely clear to any children who may be reading this: Some people might use this to claim that Noah was a Neanderthal. Well, Noah just was white. Noah was what he was. OK, I wanted to get that straight.

I'm sending this to my congressman and senator - one more reason to complete that border fence and put a stop to immigration reform and any further talk of amnesty. ObamaCare is already going to bankrupt us and we certainly can't afford to buy all the Mexicans dialysis machines.
