Abstract excerpt

A total of 206 random, healthy individuals belonging to five distinct ethnic groups (Ezhavas, Arayas, Nairs, Vishwakarmas and Muslims) were analyzed for 18 bp VNTR repeat polymorphism present in the 5'flanking region of theThiopurine Methyl Transferase gene (TPMT). In the present study, the population data of TPMT minisatellite was compared with the population data of other loci and the utility of minisatellite...
