Summary

Descripción general del contenido del recurso.

The extensive develop- ment of genealogical studies based on archival documents has provided powerful support for genetic research in Costa Rica over the past quarter century. As a result, several questions of population history have been answered, such as those involving hereditary illnesses, suggesting additional avenues and questions as well. Similarly, the preservation of massive amounts of historical documentation highlights the major advantages that the Costa Rican population offers to genetic research. El amplio desarrollo de los estudios genealógicos ba- sados en la documentación custodiada en los archivos his- tóricos ha representado un fuerte apoyo a la investigación genética en Costa Rica durante el último cuarto de siglo y como resultado de tal interacción se han podido responder algunas interrogantes sobre la historia poblacional, sobre varias enfermedades hereditarias y ha dejado vislumbrar la de otras; asimismo, deja entrever enormes ventajas pon- tenciales de la población costarricense como modelo para los estudios genéticos.
