A total of 148 Nagas (65 urban and 83 rural) and 81 Hmars from northeastern India were tested for 15 blood genetic markers. Both the Nagas and Hmars lacked haemoglobin variants and G6PD deficiency and had a high frequency of PGDC. This may be attributed to selective pressures operating at these loci. Genetic distance estimates using 41 alleles at 11 polymorphic loci showed appreciable heterogeneity between the...
