  • A Correlative Study of HLA, Sickle Cell Gene and G6PD Deficiency with Splenomegaly and Malaria Incidence Among Bhils and Pawra Tribes from Dhadgon, Dhule, Maharastra

    Open AccessU ShankarkumarARTICLEStudies of Tribes and Tribals2003

    Haldane proposed that the sickle cell gene provides a survival advantage in malarial endemic regions. A high malarial endemicity has also been attributed to a high prevalence of G6PD deficiency in the Middle East and South East Asia. Moreover, the HLA antigens have been postulated to confer a protective immunity among the malaria endemic population. To evaluate a correlation in between these investigations among 146 tribals comprising of Bhils (9…

  • HLA Antigen Distribution in Selected Caste Groups from Mumbai, Maharastra, India

    Open AccessU Shankarkumar, Kanjaksha Ghosh et al.ARTICLEJournal of Human Ecology2002

    Indian population is well known for its genetic diversity. Among the numerous endogamous communities, which is restricted very much by custom, marriage and occupation, we have collected a total of 229 individuals from 1996 - 1999 comprising of Parsee, Patels and Vatalia Prajapathi (VP) caste groups. We present here the HLA antigen distribution of these endogamous caste groups and compare their distribution of HLA antigens with other caste groups …

    Fifty three unrelated blood samples from Bhils and 38 unrelated blood samples from Pawars. two endogamous tribes residing in Narmada valley, Maharashtra, Western India, were examined for HLA A and B antigen profiles. The Bhil group was characterized by high frequencies of HLA A1, A10, B5, B8, BI5 and B27; the frequencies of HLA A11, A28, B7, B12, B35, B37 and B55 were found to be higher in Pawars.
