Genetic studies among the sedentes and migrant oraons of eastern India

Abstract: A total of 334 Oraons of both sexes from two localities in eastern India were tested for 11 polymorphic and six monomorphic blood genetic markers. The sample comprised 130 sedentes from the Gumla district in Bihar and 204 migrants to the Jalpaiguri district of North Bengal. At the hemoglobin locus one example of HbAS was observed in the Gumla sample, while two cases of HbAS were found in the Jalpaiguri group. The Oraons are a distinct tribe and are characterized by a very low frequency of Hp1, TFC2, and a high… Show more

“…Further work in this direction will be very useful to understand the effects of altitudinal selection pressure in human populations. The Chinese, Bengalis, Oraons, Khasis of Assam, and other Indian populations have a much lower frequency of PGDc (up to 0.05) (Goedde et al, 1972;Saha, 1987;Saha et al, 1988;Saha, 1989).…”
