Reproductive behaviour and natural selection for the sickle gene in the Baiga tribe of central India: the role of social parenting.

Annals of human genetics - 1 May 1996

Reddy P H, Modell B

Abstract excerpt

We have investigated the transmission of the sickle cell gene in relation to tribal structure, and genetic fitness in a primitive Indian tribal population, the Baiga. Factors operating on gene frequency include protection of AS individuals against falciparum malaria, a high frequency of genetic factors capable of moderating the severity of sickle cell anaemia (alpha-thalassaemia and Xmn I polymorphism in G gamma...
