Abstract

Serum samples from 216 unrelated individuals from two endogamous populations namely the Kotas and the Badagas residing in the Nilgiri Hills, South India were screen ed for haptoglobin types using polyacrylamide sı ab gel electrophoresis. Only two of the common phenotypes Hp2-2 and Hp2-1 were observed in both the groups. Hp1 and Hp2 gene frequencies were calculated by direct gene counting method and the results are compared with other Indian population groups.
