Apolipoprotein CII genotypes were determined in Brahmins, Banias, Jat Sikhs, Khatris, Ramgarhia, Ramdasia and Scheduled Castes of Punjab, North India (n = 930). The Apo CII exhibits three common polymorphic alleles CII*1, CII*2 and CII*3 with pooled frequencies 0.883, 0.114 and 0.003, respectively. CII*3 was absent in Brahmins. Distribution of Apo CII isoforms highlights a considerable variation among different ethnic groups across the world. The average heterozygosity of the Punjabi populations was 0.208. The gene diversity among these population groups was less than 0.1%.
