Abstract
In the present study, two endogamous caste groups of U.P., viz; Bhargavas and Chaturvedies, subgroups of the major ethnic group of Brahmins were typed for HLA antigen and haplotype frequencies. Gene pools of these two groups may be unique and well preserved because of socio-cultural barriers and strict endogamy. Our results revealed that these two populations are indeed different from each other and that the different populations of India cannot be considered as a single panmictic population.
