Abstract :
Background and objectives: The investigation of human blood genetic markers is a convenient tool to study genetic variation within and between human populations. The present investigation reports the variation in the distribution of some genetic markers in Salis, an endogamous sub-population from State of Andhra Pradesh, India.
Methods: 210 venous blood samples collected from health and unrelated individuals living in Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam cities were used for typing eight genetic markers. The data obtained was tabulated, analyzed, assessed and formulated.
Results: Only 5 enzymes namely 6PGD, G6PD, ESD, ACP1 and GLO1 systems exibit polymorphism in the present study. However, in the 6PGD system, the AC rare heterozygote phenotype was observed 10% of cases. Furthermore, rare variant, TF*CD in the Transferrin system has been observed. The allele frequency of TF*CD was found to be 0.01.
Conclusions: The results of these biochemical genetic markers were found to be in accordance with other populations of Andhra Pradesh, South India.
