Distributions of A1A2BO and Rh blood group among Gonds and Panikas of Madhya Pradesh

Red cell enzyme gene polymorphism in Gond tribe of Madhya Pradesh

“…The distribution of two blood groups and four biochemical markers in Gond tribe are presented in table 1. In A 1 A 2 BO, the frequency of A 1 allele in Gond is found to be 20.41% while a low value (7.05%) has been recorded in Keer tribe (Bharti et al, 2007) but on the other hand showed partial variation with the Gond tribe (17%) of Anuppur and Dindori districts of MP (Thakur S. and Singh H.S., 2017), whereas Bharti et al, (2007) reported high incidence of allele B in Keer (33.68%) and low in Gond (28.11%) were observed . The allele frequency of A 1 in Gond is similar to that of Bhil (21.9%) and Gond (20.1%) of Ambikapur district (Bhatia et al,1986).…”

“…On comparison with the caste population, it revealed that, the A 1 allele frequency of Gond tribe is greater than Hindu (15.91%) and Muslim (18.39%) of Indore (Roberts et al, 1974). The percentage frequency of A 2 allele in Gond has been found to be 1.0 %, which is the lowest recorded incidence in any tribal population, but it is noteworthy that it is totally absent in Keer (Bharti et al, 2007) while recorded high (2.0%) in Gond tribe of Anuppur and Dindori districts of Madhya Pradesh (Thakur and Singh 2017). The distribution of allele frequencies of allele O in Gond shows approximate similarity with earlier data of the tribes.…”
