Genetic variability of blood and saliva antigens and serum proteins among subtribes of Mali from Andhra Pradesh, India.
The subtribes of Mali viz. Manzai Mali and Bod Mali of Andhra Pradesh, India, were screened for A1A2B0, Rhesus (CcDEe) and MN blood groups, ABH saliva secretion and plasma proteins, namely haptoglobin, transferrin, caeruloplasmin and albumin. The genetic differences between the two subtribes are marginal and not significant except for ABH saliva secretion and plasma haptoglobin. Our observations suggest that the isolation of these two subtribes cannot date long back.
