En este artículo se contrasta empíricamente la hipótesis que, en Colombia, la raza tiene un efecto significativo en la percepción de pobreza de los propios individuos y condiciona la manera como éstos perciben los diferentes aspectos de bienestar. Se emplea la Encuesta Nacional de Calidad de Vida (ECV) realizada en Colombia para el año 2013. La estimación de un modelo logit multinomial revela que el ser afrocolombiano aumenta la probabilidad de percibir que el ingreso promedio del hogar no es suficiente para cubrir sus gastos mínimos y aleja la probabilidad de percibir que éstos sean, al menos, suficientes.

Dols-Icardo, O. et al. Assessing the role of TUBA4A gene in frontotemporal degeneration. Neurobiology of Aging 38:215.e13-4 (2016). Artículo: 2 páginas y 1 tabla como material suplementario ; The tubulin alpha 4a (TUBA4A) gene has been recently associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Interestingly, some of the mutation carriers were also diagnosed with frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) or mild cognitive impairment. With the aim to investigate the role of TUBA4A in FTD, we screened TUBA4A in a series of 814 FTD patients from Spain. Our data did not disclose any nonsense or missense variant in the cohort, thus suggesting that TUBA4A mutations are not associated with FTD. ; The tubulin alpha 4a (TUBA4A) gene has been recently associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
