Good job Umesh! Very perceptive of you to notice that. On that
basis, one might hope, you will also see what a bunch of garbage the
Editorial was.
I have noticed you are reading much better these days . The other
day when you pointed out to Ram how WISHING ULFA away was silly; I
thought WOW, Umesh is thinking , unlike all our brilliant Kharkhowas
in this forum :-).

Dilip-da,
That is interesting but not new:
***Consistent with geography and with the analysis in

2A, among the Indian populations, populations from the northwest
part of India, including the Kashmiri and Punjabi groups, had the
greatest similarity to the populations from Europe and the Middle
East. Populations from eastern India, including the Assamese and
Bengalis, had the greatest similarity to the populations from East
Asia. The only population whose Fst values within India
substantially overlapped those of either Europe/Middle East or East
Asia was the Parsi population. Fst values for the Parsis were
similar within India and with populations from Europe and the Middle
East, in agreement with their likely origins and their similar
membership in the blue and red clusters in

2A (52.4% for the blue cluster, 45.3% for the red cluster). In
general, Fst between pairs of populations within India did not show
a strong correlation with geographic distance
(<http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1713257&rendertype=figure&id=pgen-0020215-g006>Figure
6). The correlation was greater when excluding pairs involving the
Parsi population, but remained considerably smaller than has been
seen for other sets of worldwide populations

Subject: Fwd: Study that you participated in
To: ASSAMNET <[email protected]>
My wife Dil took the lead in contacting the Assamese families in
Texas to provide the samples for the Assamese group of the
Indian-Americans in the study. When we met Pragna Patel she spoke
eloquently on the subject of genetic variations. During our
conversation, she expected variation among the Indian genetic
samples. However as the study says Indian samples form one group and
there is not much variation in the group.
If you want more information on the subject, please contact Pragna directly.

P.S. This is purely a scientific study in genes and diseases. Do not
mix it with political discussions that frequent this net, though the
Hindustan Times attempts to do so.

Dear Study Participant,
The study on Genetic variation in Indians that you participated in
was published and it was the subject of an Editorial in Hindustan
Times.
Please see the following links for details and email me if you have
any questions or if your information needs to be updated.
The article is seen at:

For those of you who do not know, I have moved to University of
Southern California from Baylor College of Medicine and my new
details are below.
Many thanks for your participation. It really made a difference!
We have now launched a research study on the genetics of heart
disease and type 2 diabetes in Asian Indians. If you or anybody you
know is interested in this study, please do visit our website:

information or you may directly email me.
