Apoe distribution in world populations with new data from India and the UK
Overall APOE allelic variation in UK and Indian populations is comparable to previous studies but in tribal populations *E4 allele frequency was very low or absent. At a global level allelic variation shows that geography, isolation by distance, genetic drift and possibly pre-historical selection are responsible for shaping the spectrum of genetic variation at the APOE gene. Overall, APOE is a good anthropogenetic and clinical diagnostic marker
Short ReportGenetic variation at three VNTR loci (D1S80, Apob and D17S5) in two tribal populations of Andhra Pradesh, India
This study reports the genetic variation at three variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) loci (APOB, D17S5 and D1S80) in two tribes (Thoti and Kolam) of Andhra Pradesh, India. Kolams constitute 1% of the total scheduled tribal population of Andhra Pradesh, while Thoti is a numerically small tribe. All three genetic loci were genotyped using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique and were polymorphic in both populations. At the D1S80 locus…
Genetic variation at three VNTR loci in three tribal populations of Orissa, India
The VNTRs are polymorphic in the tribal populations studied and there is extensive allelic variation. Gadabas are isolated but Kuvi-Khond and Paroja show clear affinities with the Gonds, a major tribal group of Central India. Overall, allele frequency distribution, heterozygosity and genetic diversity analysis show that genetic diversity observed is socially, linguistically and geographically structured in this region
Genetic Diversity of Serum Proteins in Three Subpopulations of the Maria Gond Tribe of Madhya Pradesh, India
The phenotype and allele frequency distribution of group specific component (GC), transferrin (TF), alpha-1-antitrypsin (PI) and apolipoprotein E (APOE) was determined by isoelectric focusing of plasma samples from three subpopulations (Bison Horn Maria of the Kuakonda and Tokapal Block, and Abuj Maria of the Abujmar Hills of the Orchha block) of the Maria Gond tribe of Madhya Pradesh, India. A considerable level of allele frequency variation was…
Apolipoprotein A-IV Polymorphism in Five Punjabi Populations: Gene Frequencies and Gene Diversities
Apolipoprotein A-IV genotypes were determined in five population groups (Brahmins, Banias, Jatsikhs, Khatris and ‘Others’) of Punjab (n-780) by two dimensional gel electrophoresis. The apo A-IV exhibits two common polymorphic alleles AIV-1 and AIV-2 with pooled frequencies 0.903 and 0.097 respectively. Distribution of apo A-IV isoforrms highlight considerable variation among different ethnic groups across the world. Average heterozygosity of Punj…
Do Distances Play Role in Aids Info? Decreasing Vigilance towards Countryside
AIDS awareness was investigated in 180 individuals through telephonic conversation in 32 villages in four directions (Forms 0-40 kms) of Ludhiana city of Punjab. Clear cut decreasing trend of AIDS consciousness away from the city in all the four directions was evident that is, towards. North (y = – 0.379x + 14.59, r = 0.9596),South (y = –0.403x + 14.28, r = 0.9610), East (y = –0.4187x + 15.14, r = 0.9671) and West (y = –0.4037x + 14.71,r – 0.9675…
Genetic diversity at the HUMTHO1 locus
A World-wide population genetic study on the highly polymorphic DNA locus HUMTHO1, was performed using data collected from 48 studies. Also this study reports new allele frequency data of a Punjabi population (n = 125) from North India. This population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium with 77.6% heterozygosity and power of exclusion at 0.538. Allele frequency graphs were used to demonstrate that world populations show a distinguishable ethnic tre…
Genetic variation in the East Midlands
According to history, the population of the British Isles derives its genepool from a succession of invaders and immigrants. The settlement pattern of these invaders gave rise to a patchwork of genepools, shown in previous genetic surveys. Specimens from 1117 blood donors of regionally subdivided East Midlands (Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire) were analysed for 18 conventional genetic systems (blood groups, serum proteins and red c…
Anthropology of the apolipoprotein E (apo E) gene: Low frequency of apo E4 allele in Basques and in tribal (Baiga) populations of India
The distribution of apolipoprotein E (apo E) polymorphism was examined in 11 population groups not previously studied for this system. There is a marked difference in phenotype and gene frequency between the populations of England and Spain. The south European populations of Basques and Spanish non-Basques showed greater similarity to the populations of South Asia. The study clearly indicates that the distribution of apo E alleles does match with…
Genetic variation of serum proteins (GC, TF and PI subtypes) in the Baigas of Madhya Pradesh, India
The distribution of group specific component (GC), transferrin (TF) and alpha-1-antitrypsin (PI) subtypes was determined by isoelectric focusing of plasma samples from 140 unrelated individuals belonging to the Baiga tribe of Madhya Pradesh, India. The allele frequencies observed for GC (GC*1S = 0.6742, GC*1F = 0.1326 and GC*2 = 0.1932), TF (TF*C1 = 0.7920, TF*C2 = 0.1606, TF*C3 = 0.0146 and TF*D = 0.0328) and PI (PI*M1 = 0.7179, PI*M2 = 0.1750, …
Khmers of Cambodia: A comparative genetic study of the populations of Southeast Asia
A sample of the Khmer population from Cambodia has been examined for 30 single‐gene characters (10 blood groups and 20 serum and red cell systems). A locus‐by‐locus comparison suggests that the Khmers differ significantly in several systems from the populations of Eastern India and China. There is remarkable heterogeneity among their geographical neighbors. To elucidate the genetic relationship of the Khmer, genetic data were collected from vario…
Genetic structure and microdifferentiation among four endogamous groups of Maharashtra, Western India
Phenotype and gene frequencies of 24 blood group, serum protein and red cell enzyme loci are examined in four endogamous groups (Brahmin, Maratha, Gujarati Hindu Patel and Parsee) of Maharashtra, Western India. Several genetic systems are investigated for the first time in this region. Genetic heterogeneity is suggested, although the overall variation shows general agreement with the populations already studied from Western India. In addition to …
Study of transferrin (TF), group specific component (GC) and alpha-1-antitrypsin (PI) subtypes in the populations of Basque country (Spain)
Genetic polymorphisms of three serum proteins Transferrin (TF), Group Specific Component (GC), and Alpha-l-Antitrypsin were investigated by isoelectric focusing (IEF) in the Basque and non Basque populations from Vizcaya and Guipuzcoa, Spain. Two of the three genetic systems (TF and PI) showed conclusive genetic heterogeneity between the Basque populations of these two provinces. In addition to the past genetic drift, the present day genetic diff…
Population variation in molecular polymorphisms of the short arm of the human X chromosome
Five DNA probes (RC8, 754, XJ 1‐1, pert 87.8, and L1.28) from the short arm of the human X chromosome were investigated in samples from five populations (English, Nigerian, Chinese, Muslim, and Hindu from India). The variation in the allele frequencies of several probes between different groups was significant. The average heterozygosity in females of the five populations ranged from 32% to 51%. The genetic distance between the five groups was co…
Serogenetic studies of the Lobanas in North-West India
Phenotype and gene frequencies of several polymorphic genetic markers were examined in a Sikh agriculturist caste group, Lobanas of Punjab, India. Lobanas have been a trading community, now settled as cultivators, but for their origin there have been a difference of opinions. To trace their genetic relationship the gene frequency data was compared using multivariate analysis with several populations of India, which historically shared not only a …
