The genetic ancestry of patients was determined by 46 autosomal ancestry informative markers (AIMs), consisting of insertion and deletion polymorphisms and using the genetic data of the Human Genome Diversity Project – center d’Etude du Polymorphisme Humain (HGDP-CEPH), according to Pereira et al.63. We classified the proportion of ancestry by tertiles as high, intermediary and low for each of the main populations: African, European, Asian and Native American73.
