  • Title: Study of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) in the Kissan tribals of Orissa and the Kannikar tribals of Kerala, India.
    Author: Devi ST, Saran SK, Nair G.
    Journal: Anthropol Anz; 1993 Jun; 51(2):179-81. PubMed ID: 8333738.
    Abstract:
    G6PD deficiency has been studied in two tribal populations: Kissan tribals of Orissa and Kannikar tribals of Nedumungad Taluk, Trivandrum, Kerala. The percentage frequencies of G6PD deficiency are 14.13% and 5.5%, respectively. The two areas have a different pattern with respect to malarial infection. The Orissa one is an endemic malaria zone, while the Kerala one is less malarious. This is very well reflected by the frequency distribution of G6PD deficiency.
