    Abstract:
    Sickle cell haemoglobin and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency have been investigated in two endogamous subgroups of the Rellis, a scheduled caste population of Visakhapatnam of Andhra Pradesh (South India). The frequency for the sickle cell gene is higher among Relli-I (0.1216) than in Relli-II (0.0454). The incidence of G-6-PD deficiency is higher among Relli-II (0.0454) than in Relli-I (0.0328). The results were also compared with those available from other Andhra Pradesh populations.
