MTHFR C677T polymorphisms among the Ahirs and Jats of Haryana (India)

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to ascertain whether genetic factors could be the reasons for the high prevalence of certain modern lifestyle disease among the Jats and Ahirs of India. Results showed that a mutation of the C677T could be linked to the occurrence, which again could have occurred due to some selection process among the two endogamous groups.
