Population genetic analysis among five Indian population groups using six microsatellite markers

From: Human Biology | Date: April 1, 2003| Author: | Copyright information

Abstract Genetic variation at six tetranucleotide microsatellites (HUMTHO1, HUMVWA, F13A01, D3S1359, D12S66, and D12S67) has been determined in five endogamous ethnic population groups of India belonging to two major linguistic families. The populations analyzed were Konkanastha Brahmins and Marathas (Maharashtra state) from the Indo-Aryan linguistic family and Nairs, Ezhavas, and Muslims (Kerala state) from the Dravidian family. All six loci show high gene diversity, ranging from 0.63 + or - 0.04 to 0.84 + or - 0.02. The average G^sub ST^ value observed was 1.7%, indicating that the ...
