Biological Traits and Their Association with Diseases: A Review of Studies from Indian Region

AbstractIn the present paper as attempt has been made to compile studies co the association of diseases with the biological traits responded from the Indian region.

Serum protein polymorphisms (HP, GC, PI) in Muslims and Bodhs of Jammu and Kashmir, India

Two population groups of Jammu and Kashmir (India) — Muslims and Bodhs-have been typed for haptoglobin and for CG and PI subtype polymorphisms. The allele frequencies do not show significant differences between these two populations. HP and GC allele frequencies of Bodhs and Muslims differ considerably from with that observed in other North Indian populations. The PI allele frequencies of Bohds and Muslims differ considerably from those found in other Indian populations and are more similar to Mongoloid ones.
