ABSTRACT
Blood samples from 330 Kutia Kondhs (a primitive tribal population of Orissa) were subjected to a battery of tests for genetic markers to find out the incidence of various blood group polymorphisms (ABO, MN, Duffy, JKa), serum proteins, sickling and G-6-PD deficiency. Predominance of O (39.09%) blood group for ABO, N blood group (53.44) for MN and Fya+b+ (55.72) for Duffy blood group, were observed. High incidence of Hp2-1 (39.33), SS (70.43) and CC (96.65) for haptoglobulin, C3 and transferrin respectively were seen. The overall frequency of sickling was observed to be 16.36 per cent. The sex-wise distribution of G-6-PD was 13.71 per cent for males and 1.84 for females.
