Abstract The genetic composition of one tribal and two nontribal populations of the Chamba District, Himachal Pradesh, India, was studied by phenotype analyses of 25 genetic markers (9 blood groups, 13 red cell enzymes, and 3 serum proteins). Furthermore, the genetic structure of 11 populations from 3 districts, Chamba, Kangra, and Kinnaur of Himachal Pradesh, was also analyzed using data from 20 loci (57 alleles). Nine genetic systems (ABO, Rh, FY, P, PGM, ACP, AK, PGD, and HP) showed highly significant heterogeneity in the five populations of Kinnaur District, whereas among the six populations from Chamba and Kangra districts the ...
