High Variation in Genetic Markers of the Ranglong Tribe in Comparison with Neighbouring Populations of Northeast India
By: PRAIZY HALAM – The study of genetic markers is essential for understanding population structure and evolutionary relationships among human populations. This study investigates the distribution and variation of selected genetic markers – specifically, ABO blood groups, Rhesus (Rh[D]) blood types, phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) taste sensitivity, and color blindness – among the Ranglong tribe of Northeast…
Phenotypic and Allelic Distribution of ABO Blood Groups, Rhesus Blood Type, PTC Taste Sensitivity, and Color Blindness among the Pnars of West Jaintia Hills District of Meghalaya, India
ABO blood groups, Color-blindness, Meghalaya, Northeast India, Pnar tribe, PTC taste sensitivity, Rhesus blood typeBy: VIVOTO TSUKRU, ITIAKLUNG PUTLANG, DHRUBA KUMAR LIMBU – The genetic structures of populations belonging to varied races and ethnic groups differ considerably in genetic markers distribution and occurrence frequencies. The present study is an attempt to describe the genetic composition of the Pnar tribe of Meghalaya, Northeast India using four genetic markers viz., ABO…
