Genetic diversity of hemoglobinopathies, G6PD deficiency, and ABO and Rhesus blood groups in two isolates of a primitive Kharia Tribe in Sundargarh District of Northwestern Orissa, India
Infant mortality and reproductive wastage associated with different genotypes of haemoglobinopathies in Orissa, India
The progeny of sickle-cell trait, beta-thalassaemia trait, and sickle cell/beta-thalassaemia couples contributes substantially to the high neonatal/IMR in the coastal state of Orissa in Central-Eastern India. This study has revealed that in comparison to normal couples, couples who were carriers of haemoglobinopathies had a greater reproductive wastage. Screening and genetic counselling could be an important factor in reducing IMR in rural India.…
Do tribal communities show an inverse relationship between sickle cell disorders and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in malaria endemic areas of Central-Eastern India?
The spectrum of haemoglobin variants in two scheduled tribes of Sundargarh district in north-western Orissa, India
Isolates of the Bhuyan and Kharia tribes show intra-group variations in prevalence of haemoglobin variants due to founder effect, genetic drift, and the practice of inbreeding in varied geographical and ecological niches in the Sundargarh district of Orissa
Blood Groups, Hemoglobinopathy and G-6-PD Deficiency Investigations Among Fifteen Major Scheduled Tribes of Orissa, India
The autochthonous tribes of India constitute an important segment of the society. Genetic data about the tribal people in the state of Orissa are limited. The present investigation deals with the distribution of five genetic markers, namely, ABO and Rhesus (D) blood groups, sickle cell disorders, beta-thalassemia trait, and glucose-6- phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) deficiency among fifteen major scheduled tribes scattered in eight different dis…
Morphological and regional variations in body dimensions of the Gujjars of different localities in North-Western India
Physical features and somatometric characters of the wide spread Gujjar population in North-Western India are fascinating. It is all the more interesting to study their morphological and regional variations in the body dimensions. In this paper, anthropometric characters of 200 adult subjects each belonging to Hindu Gujjars in the Ropar District of Punjab and Muslim Gujjars in the Chamba District of Himachal Pradesh in the North-Western part of I…
Biomedical Anthropology in the Service of Mankind in the New Millennium: Are We Ready
Biomedical Anthropology is one of the prominent advanced health and applied sciences in the world. Bio-medical Anthropology is at the crest of development in India regardless its slow pace in space and time and lack of enthusiasm. This paper differs from the traditionalism in Anthropology and highlights the dynamism and progressive adaptability to the changing world scenario in the context of advancement in newer technology. The changing human li…
Skinfold Measurements of The High and Low Altitude Gujjar Populations of North-Western India
The skinfold measurements not only provide a fair estimate of stored energy in adipose and other body tissues, but also exhibit health and nutritional status and physiological adaptation of a population. The present study deals with six skinfold measurements, viz. biceps, triceps, subscapular, above iliac crest, widest portion of forearm and of calf muscle of the low and high altitude Hindu and Muslim Gujjars. respectively in the North-Western pa…
Population Ecology and Epidemiology of the Sickle Cell Disease in Orissa
The eco-biological diversity not only influences the quality of life, but also determines the disease pattern and morbidity. The congenial bioenvironmental conditions proliferate the healthy people. This study gives an account of the population, ecology, health status and distribution of the sickle cell disease in Orissa. The geographical distribution of the sickle cell disease entertains the geomedical diversity in the Eastern Coast region and W…
Environmental Contraints, Health and Population Trends Among The Muslim Gujjars of Himachal Pradesh, India
A stody has been carried out among the Muslim Gujjars of Himachal Pradesh in relation to population. health and environmental constraints. The study shows that a number of behavioural and environmental variables such as altitude, dinate. transhumance. etc. influence the population growth and development of Muslim Gujjars in the Himalayan ecosystem. Like the Muslim populations elsewhere in India, the Muslim Gujjars of Himachal Pradesh show trends …
Age at Sexual Maturity Among the Eight Endogamous Populations of North-Eastern India
The age at sexual maturity of 245 girls belonging to eight endogamous populations namely, Adi. Apatani, Nishi. Naga. Ahom, Sonowal-Kadiari. Tea garden Tribal and Assamese has been studied employing the status quo method in the North-Eastern India. The majority of the girls menstruated at the age of 12. 13 or 14 years irrespective of the caste Aribal affiliation. The mean menarcheal age varies between 12.22 ± 0.99 to 13.80 ± 0.98 years among the e…
Regional and genetic variations among the Hindu Gujjars of Northwestern India
Serogenetic investigations among the Hindu Gujjars of Ropar District in Punjab were carried out with special reference to their genetic relationship with populations of other localities. Hindu Gujjars of Northwestern India show intragroup genetic variations, significant especially at the ABO locus. The magnitude of intragroup diversity varies depending upon the physical distance between the two groups. The plausible explanation for their diversit…
Fertility and Mortality Differentials Among the Gujjars of Sub-Himalaya and Himalayan Regions
A rangy panting to fertility, mortality, morbidity and the reproductive potentials among the Hindu and Mtehint441n of Sub-Himalayan and Himalayan regions, respectively has been carried out in the Northwestern thus, Among the Muslim Gujjars of Himalayan regions a higher fertility, crude death rate and month die awed u compared to the Sub-Himalayan Hindu Gujjars. However, the reproductive wastage seem the Hindu Gujjars of Sub-Himalayan regions. The…
Genetic Diversity Among the Six Mongoloid Populations of North Eastern India
A study of five genetic A1 A2 BO, Rhesus. MN, Haemoglobin and G-6-PD has been carried out in the sic of North Eastern India. The Study reveals genetic hetrogeneity between the populations and Kachris) and Arunachal Pradesh. (Nishis, Apeltanis and adis) and Nagaland (Nagas). Genetic popularity between the population of Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland suggests their commom ethnic, the Ahoms and kacharis echibit tha admixture of gene pools. High prev…
Genetic markers in the Hindu and Muslim Gujjars of Northwestern India
A comparative study of serogenetic markers was carried out among the Hindu and Muslim Gujjars from Northwestern India. From each isolate of Gujjars, 200 adult couples were examined for the A 1 A 2 BO and Rhesus blood groups, ABH secretion, the serum proteins haptoglobins, transferrins, and albumins, and 200 male subjects were examined for glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme deficiency. The study showed that the Muslim Gujjars differ signific…
Dermatoglyphic studies among the two breeding isolates of Gujjars of Northwestern India
Dermatoglyphic studies among two breeding isolates of Gujjars (200 individuals from each population) from northwestern India have been carried out. The distribution of phenotypic frequencies of dermatoglyphic features among the Hindu and Muslim Gujjars provides strong evidence that these populations have become distinct in the course of their history. This could have occurred due to the inflow of genes from Muslim invaders and surrounding populat…

Polymorphism of palmar C‐ and D‐line terminations among the Sikligars of Chandigarh
Modal types of palmar C‐ and D‐line terminations of 60 couples of Sikligars from Chandigarh have been evaluated and compared with the populations from Northwestern India. The distribution of palmar C‐ and D‐line terminations among the Sikligars resembles those of the Rajputs and Hindu Gujjars, suggesting a common population origin, an infrequent inflow of genes from the surrounding populations, and their biosocial isolation. Bilateral distributio…
