A survey of six genetic markers on the populations of Punjab and Rajasthan (India).
190 Punjabis (Hindus and Sikhs) of Chandigarh and 152 Hindus of Jodhpur (Rajasthan) were examined for six genetic markers, four of which (APO C-II, C6, C7 and FXIIIA) were not studied before in Asiatic Indians. For APO C-II and C7 only the common phenotype was found in a total of 229 and 99 subjects, respectively. For the remaining four markers the two samples were pooled since the gene frequency estimates were not significantly different: FXIIIA*2 = 0.205 +/- 0.016; C6*B = 0.366 +/- 0.037; PGM1*2 = 0.247 +/- 0.017; PGD*C = 0.041 +/- 0.008. These data may contribute to evaluate the extent of the Mongoloid genetic admixture into the Caucasoid gene pool of the Punjab and Rajasthan Hindu population.
