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 Figure 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 Figure 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 (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 [20,21].

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. Dilip Deka 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:
http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?tool=pubmed&pubmedid=17194221

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: www.usc.edu/RICADIA and send me your information or
you may directly email me. Best wishes, Pragna Patel Pragna Patel
