On the population genetics of beta 2-glycoprotein I in Himachal Pradesh, India.
The concentration of beta 2-glycoprotein I was studied in four tribal populations of Himachal Pradesh, India. These groups did not show any striking interpopulation differences in either the serum concentration or in the phenotype and gene frequencies. Compared to other Indian populations, the tribal populations showed significantly low frequencies of BgD. These differences emphasize the potential usefulness of the beta 2-glycoprotein I system in anthropological studies.
