Abstract

Allele frequency for the 9 STR loci (D3S1358, vWA, FGA, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D5S818, D13S317, D7S820) were estimated from a total of 1096 individuals belonging to 27 endogamous populations from the state of Andhra Pradesh, India, covering the entire gamut of socio-economic variation of the linguistic region. These loci are found to be highly polymorphic within the populations with high levels of average heterozygosity (>0.80). However, the allele frequency distributions are fairly uniform across the populations in case of these loci suggesting relatively greater homogeneity among the populations. Regrouping populations into five broad socio-economic categories further reiterated the homogenous pattern of genetic diversity.

    An allele frequency distribution shows all the other loci were highly polymorphic with uniform pattern sharing in both the populations. A statistical evaluation of these three studied populations with several Indian populations (Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vysya, Akuthota, Kamma, Kapu, Pokanati, Panta, Vanne, Balija, Ediga, Ekila, Gandla, Jangam, Kurava, Thogata, Yadava, Chakali, Mangali, Vaddi, Madiga, Mala, Erukula, Sugali, Yanadi, Dudekula, Sheik and Golla [6,7]; Iyengar, Gowda, Lingayat, Muslim (Karnataka) [8]; Agharia, Satnami, Gond, Teli [9]; Bhumihar, Reddy, Sakuna, Naga, Khandait [10]; Garo, Naga, Kuki, Hmar [11]) revealed that most of the Mongoloid populations have same allelic pattern as Nicobarese while other populations do not match with present data of any population around the world. Our study supports the unique origin of Great Andamanese and Onge [2].
