The Latin American T-Cell Project: a Brazilian proposal
Authors: Chiattone C, Parra F C, Bellei M, Souza C A, Federico M
Abstract: By virtue of being the product of the genetic admixture
of three ancestral roots: Europeans, Africans,
and Amerindians, the present-day Latin America
population displays very high levels of genomic
diversity. In the other hand, the continent has a
vast territory with distinct socioeconomic regions,
sometimes bearing unique particularities in culture
and environmental aspects This variability has an
important impact in epidemiology of various diseases
including lymphoma reflecting patients treatments
and outcomes(1,2) . The main purpose of this
project is to establish a better picture of the T-cell
lymphomas in Latin America, comparing data from
each different socio-geographic region and limiting
the selection or biases probably found in the international
studies. Information comprising these regions
can contribute much to the epidemiology of these
diseases as well as to identify bette
