Genetic analysis of novel Alu insertion polymorphisms in selected indian populations
Objectives Indian subpopulations (Chenchu, Koya, and Lobana Sikh) were analyzed at the genetic level for 12 Alu polymorphisms. These markers were then utilized to establish levels of genetic identity between the Indian populations and more widely between the Indian populations and a European population. Methods Previously collected blood samples were extracted using the phenol‐chloroform method. The samples were utilized as templates for PCR usin…
Unity in diversity: An overview of the genomic anthropology of India
CONTEXT: India is considered a treasure for geneticists and evolutionary biologists due to its vast human diversity, consisting of more than 4500 anthropologically well-defined populations (castes, tribes and religious groups). Each population differs in terms of endogamy, language, culture, physical features, geographic and climatic position and genetic architecture. These factors contributed to India-specific genetic variations which may be res…
Relationship of 2D: 4D finger ratio with muscle strength, testosterone, and androgen receptor CAG repeat genotype
This study aimed to examine the relationship between the ratio of the length of the second and fourth digits (2D:4D) and locomotor muscle strength. Furthermore, two putative mechanisms that might explain any relationship of 2D:4D with muscle strength, specifically serum total and free testosterone, and androgen receptor genotype CAG repeat number (AR CAGn) were investigated. Seventy‐seven healthy young Caucasian men completed a thorough assessmen…
Genetic Variation of Apolipoproteins in North Indians
Genetic variation at three apolipoprotein loci (APOA4, APOH, and APOE) has been examined in nine endogamous populations of Punjab, North India. The overall pattern of allele frequency variation at different loci is compatible with that of European populations, but observed microvariation differentiates the populations according to their position in the Indian caste structure. The most common allele at the APOA4 locus was APOA4*1 with a narrow fre…
Genetic heterogeneity of Apo CII locus in North India
Apolipoprotein CII genotypes were determined in Brahmins, Banias, Jat Sikhs, Khatris, Ramgarhia, Ramdasia and Scheduled Castes of Punjab, North India (n = 930). The Apo CII exhibits three common polymorphic alleles CII*1, CII*2 and CII*3 with pooled frequencies 0.883, 0.114 and 0.003, respectively. CII*3 was absent in Brahmins. Distribution of Apo CII isoforms highlights a considerable variation among different ethnic groups across the world. The…
Apolipoprotein E polymorphism in India: High Apoe*E3 allele frequency in Ramgarhia of Punjab
High resolution two dimensional gel electrophoresis with the combination of isoelectric focusing (IEF) and density gradient sodium dodecyl-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (DG-PAGE) have been employed to investigate the distribution of APOE in Ramgarhia (n = 80) and Ramdasia (n = 70) of Punjab, India. Three alleles APOE*E2, APOE*E3 and APOE*E4 were observed in Ramgarhia and Ramdasia with the frequencies of 0.031, 0.913, 0.056 and 0.043, 0.886 a…
D1S80 distribution in world populations with new data from the UK and the Indian sub-continent
Since D1S80 variation shows considerable homogeneity within a given ethnic group, but marked variation among them, it is a useful anthropological marker for the differentiation of these populations
Origin of the Romany gypsies - genetic evidence
Genetic heterogeneity and affinity was examined between nine Romany speaking gypsy populations and two of their possible ancestral populations from India. For AB0, Rhesus (D), MN and HP systems there exists a conclusive heterogeneity among these populations. Three gypsy populations from Western Europe (English, Welsh and Swedish) are genetically distinct from the rest of the East European gypsies and the populations of India analysed in this inve…
