    Author: Reddy AP, Mukherjee BN, Vijayakumar M, Malhotra KC.
    Journal: Am J Phys Anthropol; 1986 Sep; 71(1):89-94. PubMed ID: 2946235.
    Abstract:
    Red cell hemolysates from 1,004 persons belonging to 14 population groups drawn from four South Indian states, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Kerala, were tested for PGM1 subtypes. The groups are characterized by a high frequency of phenotype 1+1+ (range 36.98-71.64%) and the allele 1+ (range 60-79%). The groups exhibit marked heterogeneity for PGM1 locus. The results show a clear demarcation between tribes and Brahmin groups.
