  • Title: Genetic structure of three Naikpod subpopulations of Andhra Pradesh, India.
    Author: Muralidhar B, Goud JD, Murty JS.
    Journal: Am J Phys Anthropol; 1989 Sep; 80(1):41-7. PubMed ID: 2801904.
    Abstract:
    The genetic structure of three subpopulations of the Naikpod tribe of Andhra Pradesh, India, was examined by studying three blood group, six red cell enzyme, and five protein systems and phenylthiocarbamide taste sensitivity. The gene frequency data of 15 loci are compared among the subpopulations as well as with those reported for other population groups from India. The analysis of gene diversity revealed that the gene differentiation among the subpopulations relative to total population is only 0.02, indicating that the genetic differentiation between subpopulations is very small compared with that within them. This is corroborated by the small genetic distances found among them. The effect of differentiation of microgeographical and breeding isolation on gene diversity and genetic differentiation among the three subpopulations is apparently low.
