This study analyzed X chromosome genetic diversity in Indian populations. Allelic frequencies for four polymorphic sites were determined, revealing variations and similarities across ethnic groups.

Area of Science:

  • Human genetics
  • Population genetics
  • Molecular anthropology

Background:

  • The X chromosome harbors numerous genes crucial for human development and disease susceptibility.
  • Understanding genetic diversity within and between populations is vital for evolutionary studies and medical research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the allelic frequencies of four polymorphic sites on the short arm of the X chromosome.
  • To compare genetic variations between the Assamese and Malayalee populations in India.
  • To analyze the genetic distinctiveness of the Indian population compared to other ethnic groups.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of four polymorphic DNA markers on the X chromosome's short arm.
  • Genotyping of individuals from two distinct Indian ethnic groups: Assamese and Malayalee.

  • Statistical analysis of allelic frequencies and comparison with global population data.

    • Main Results:

    • Pooled allelic frequencies for the L1.28, RC8, pD2, and L754 probes were determined in the Indian cohort.
    • The A2 allele frequencies were 0.57 (L1.28), 0.20 (RC8), 0.28 (pD2), and 0.11 (L754).
    • The A3 allelic fragment (RC8) was absent in 67 Indian individuals; one unique 7.0-kilobase fragment was observed in an Assamese woman.

    Conclusions:

    • The Assamese and Malayalee populations exhibit similar allelic frequencies at the studied X chromosome loci.
    • Specific allelic patterns were identified in the Indian population, with notable differences from other ethnic groups.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the evolutionary significance of these observed genetic variations.
