Genetic studies on Gadaba: A tribal population of Andhra Pradesh, India
Blood samples were collected from Gadaba, a tribal population of Andhra Pradesh, South India, in order to examine the distribution of blood groups, red cell enzymes and the gammaglobulin polymorphism. Out of 20 genetic markers studied seven protein loci exhibited monomorphism. Surprisingly a case of a rare homozygous variant and twenty-one heterozygous variants at the phosphogluconate dehydrogenase locus (6-PGD), six variants at the phosphohexose…
Detection of a new variant phenotype of phosphohexose isomerase in the Gadaba tribe of Andhra Pradesh, South India
A total of 998 unrelated individuals from the Gadaba tribal population of Andhra Pradesh, South India, were screened for red cell phosphohexose isomerase (PHI) by starch gel electrophoresis. A new and hitherto for Andhra Pradesh not yet reported rare variant phenotype was observed: PHI 6-1. The new allele is designated as PHI*6Gadaba.
Red cell 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase polymorphism in the Gadaba of Andhra Pradesh (India). Report of new variant phenotypes
Blood samples from 1000 unrelated, adult individuals of the Gadaba tribal population were screened for 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase. We report the occurrence of a new fast moving variant, which is caused by the allele PGD* Gadaba. This allele is reported for the first time among the tribal populations of Andhra Pradesh. Its frequency comes to 0.0115, and it was observed in heterozygous (2.10%) and homozygous (0.10%) conditions.
Red cell enzyme and serum protein types in the Watut Anga of Papua New Guinea
Historically, the Angan populations of Papua New Guinea have maintained a strong isolation and absorbed limited genes from their neighbours. This lack of intermixing is reflected in their relatively homogeneous cultural, linguistic and genetic profiles. We have determined the electrophoretic variation at 26 red cell enzyme, serum protein and haemoglobin loci in the Watut Anga, a splinter group occupying the Upper Watut Valley of Morobe Province. …
Genetic studies of PGM1 subtypes: Population data from the Asian-Pacific area
The distribution of PGM1 phenotypes from persons belonging to various ethnic groups in the Asian-Pacific area has been analysed using isoelectric focusing (I.E.F.) in 0 X 35 mm thick polyacrylamide gels pH 5-7. Comparison of the four common allotype frequencies indicates well-marked differences in their distribution. The PGM 1*1+allotype frequency varies from 43 to 77% in Western Samoa and Port Moresby, respectively. Melanesians from Papua New Gu…
A population genetic study of the Banks and Torres Islands (Vanuatu) and of the Santa Cruz Islands and polynesian outliers (Solomon Islands)
As part of a multidisciplinary survey of populations in the Banks and Torres Islands of Vanuatu and the Southern and Central Districts of the Solomon Islands, nearly 2,400 persons have been tested for ABO blood groups and a number of serum protein and red cell enzyme genetic marker systems. For the ABO system, the populations are characterized in general by high gene O and low gene B frequencies except in two of the Polynesian Outlier Islands, Re…
Linguistic and genetic differentiation in New Guinea
The genetic demography of the Gainj of Papua New Guinea. I. Local differentiation of blood group, red cell enzyme, and serum protein allele frequencies
Allele frequencies are reported for 19 blood group, red cell enzyme, and serum protein loci (ABO, Rh, MN, Hb‐A, LDH‐A, LDH‐B, SOD, PGM‐1, PGM‐2, 6PGD, GPT, ESD, ADA, ACP, PGK, MDH, Alb, Hp, and Tf) determined from 310 blood samples collected among the Gainj, a small population of tribal horticulturalists from highland Papua New Guinea. Fourteen of these loci display genetic variants, and ten of them are sufficiently polymorphic to permit a prelim…
Genetic differentiation among populations in Western New Guinea
Red cell antigen, serum protein and red cell enzyme groups were determined for a series of 1,821 individuals belonging to six language families in Western New Guinea. Three of the language families represent groupings of languages spoken by people in the swampy coastal plain of south central Western New Guinea, two belong to the Central Highlands and one to the Lake Plain area near the confluence of the Idenburg and Rouffaer Rivers. The distribut…
Genes and people in the caspian littoral: A population genetic study in northern Iran
Data for the distribution of alleles controlling two blood group systems and secretor status, for hemoglobin types, five serum protein groups and 15 red cell enzyme systems has been obtained. Eleven of the systems showed polymorphic variation and these systems have been used to calculate genetic distances using Morton's Kinship measure. No systematic relationship between genetic distance and geographic location of linguistic affiliation is appare…

The legend of Prince Vijaya — a study of Sinhalese origins
Ancient chronicles relate the origin of the Sinhalese people of Sri Lanka to the arrival of Prince Vijaya from an area either in north‐east or north‐west India, and his subsequent affiliation with people from south India. Students of Indian history argue that the Vijayan legend should be interpreted to favor either one or the other of the northern origins, or a mixture of peoples from both areas. Genetic distance analysis however, despite the lim…
Blood group, serum protein and red cell enzyme groups of Amerindian populations in Colombia
Red cell samples from persons belonging to four Amerindian linguistic groups in Colombia were investigated for genetic variants in eight blood group systems: for three of the groups investigations were extended to ten red cell enzyme and four serum protein systems. The groups studied are the Noanama (including six Empera) of the Rio Siquirisua and Rio Docampado on the Pacific lowlands and the Cofan, Ingano and Siona Indians of the Upper Rio Putum…

A Further Study Of A-B-O Blood Groups and Differential Fertility among Women in Two Australian Maternity Hospitals
Two previous reports have examined certain aspects of the problem of incompatibility between mother and child with respect to the A-B-O blood groups for samples drawn from Australian Maternity hospitals. In the first of these, Bryce and others (1950) examined the mother-child blood-group combinations for 7,909 women confined in the Queen Victoria Hospital, Melbourne, during the years 1944-48. In certain mother-child combinations they observed str…
