Studies of haptoglobin and transferrin types in four castes of the Panjab, Northern India.
Serum samples from 197 individuals belonging to the caste groups of Brahmin (37), Bania (39), Khatri (73) and Jat (48) were electrophoretically examined for the haptoglobin and transferrin systems. Intercaste variation was considered and comparisons made between these North Indian populations and those in other parts of the Indian subcontinent. A single Khatri individual was typed CB.
