Mitochondrial DNA variation in ranked caste groups of Maharashtra (India) and its implication on genetic relationships and origins.

Annals of human biology - 1 Jan 2000

Roy Sangita, Thakur Mahadik Chitra, Majumder Partha P

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Polymorphism in mitochondrial DNA have been proven to be useful in studying genetic relationships and origins. The origins of caste populations have remained an enigma and genetic relationships among ranked caste groups are not uniform across geographical regions in India. AIM: This study was undertaken to investigate the nature and extent of mtDNA variation and relationships among caste groups of the...
