Summary
500 individuals belonging to the caste groups of Brahmin (106), Khattri (132), Arora (103) and Jat (159) have been investigated regarding the haptoglobin, transferrin, group specific component, albumin, ceruloplasmin as well as pseudocholinesterase locus E1 and E2 phenotypes and gene frequencies. No significant differences have been found among the various groups with respect to these six serum markers.
Zusammenfassung
Bei 500 nichtverwandten Panjabis, die zu den Kasten Brahmin (106), Khattri (132), Arora (103) und Jat (159) gehören, wurden die Phänotypen und Genfrequenzen der Haptoglobine, Transferrine, gruppenspezifischen Komponente, Albumine, Ceruloplasmine und Pseudocholinesterase Locus E1 und E2 bestimmt. Zwischen diesen Gruppen wurden keine signifikanten Unterschiede hinsichtlich der oben genannten sechs Serummerkmale gefunden.
