Abstract: L-ficolin encoded by FCN2 gene is a crucial factor of defence against infection in humans. We studied the prevalence of the two common variants (rs17549193 and rs7851696) in aboriginal and alien populations of the Taymyr-Dolgan-Nenets… read more here.

Abstract: Herewith, we provide novel original data about the prevalence of FCN3 rs532781899 and MASP2 rs72550870 variants among the newborns of aboriginal Siberian Arctic populations (Nenets and Dolgan‐Nganasans) and Russians of East Siberia. This novel data… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/er-2017-0010
Abstract: Indigenous Arctic populations experience elevated exposures to many environmental contaminants compared with groups residing in southern Canada. This is largely due to consumption of traditional foods, some of which (ringed seals, beluga whales, narwhals, etc.)… read more here.
