Some biochemical polymorphisms in members of the Gaddi tribe of Himachal Pradesh.
This study was carried out among members of the Gaddi tribe of Himachal Pradesh in north India. The genetic traits reported here include ABO blood groups, haptoglobin, transferrin, albumin, Gc, Australia antigen and antigen Dd. The frequencies of genes p, q and r for the ABO system were 0.212, 0.290 and 0.428. The Hp1 allele frequency (0.331) was markedly higher and that of Gc1 (0.700) somewhat lower than in most north Indian populations. The incidence of Australia antigen was 1.25%. There were no antigen Dd reactors.
