Admixture and Genetic Connectivity
Assam serves as a melting pot where various ethnicities converge, shaped by its strategic location bordering the six northeastern states and neighboring countries. This study examines the genomic ancestry of Indo-Aryan speakers in Assam, a region at the eastern edge of the Indian subcontinent known for its diverse linguistic and cultural influences. Principal Components Analysis (PCA) revealed that Assamese Indo-Aryans cluster closely with Bangla…
Prevalence of Low EPHX1 Activity‐Associated Genotypes in Himalayan Populations of India
Objectives The EPHX1 gene encodes human microsomal epoxide hydrolase 1, which helps in biotransformation processes. Its activity is influenced by combinations of genotypes at its polymorphic sites. There are no data on the EPHX1 gene variants in the Indian Himalayan and adjoining populations (HAAPs). Therefore, this study aims to investigate the activity‐associated genotypes of the EPHX1 gene variants in the HAAPs. Materials and Methods The EPHX1…
Factors Influencing Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Regarding Sickle Cell Disease Among the Tharu Community in Bardiya District, Nepal
Sickle cell disease (SCD) poses a major health burden among the Tharu community in Bardiya, Nepal, where gaps in knowledge, attitudes, and practices hinder effective disease prevention and management. This study aimed to assess the factors influencing knowledge, attitudes, and practice regarding SCD among the Tharu community in Bardiya District in Nepal. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 423 individuals from the Tharu co…
Signatures of high altitude adaptation in Tibeto‐Burman tribes of the Darjeeling Hill Region
Objectives The long‐term isolation, endogamy practices, and environmental adaptations have shaped the enormous human diversity in India. The genetic and morphological variations in mainland Indians are well studied. However, the data on the Indian Himalayan populations are scattered. Thus, the present study attempts to understand variations in the selected parameter among four Tibeto‐Burman speaking ethnic tribal populations from the Darjeeling H…
Vaccine hesitancy for coronavirus Sars-CoV-2 in Varanasi India
With the rollout of the world's largest vaccine drive for SARS-CoV-2 by the Government of India on January 16 2021, India had targeted to vaccinate its entire population by the end of 2021. Struggling with vaccine procurement and production earlier, India overcome these hurdles, but the Indian population still did not seem to be mobilizing swiftly toward vaccination centers. The severe second wave has slowed the vaccination pace and was also one …
