Gene differentiation at the ABO locus among six castes of Shudras, Andhra Pradesh, India.
Gene differentiation in the ABO system of six caste groups of the Shudra community was studied in the Visakhapatnam District, Andhra Pradesh, India. The results suggest that only a small fraction of gene diversity (0.50%) is attributable to between caste groups; in other words 99.50% of the gene diversity exists within the castes of Shudras.
