TL;DR: The four types of genetic variants of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) found so far in the Indian populations surveyed by starch-gel electrophoresis of haemolysates are described, pointing out their characteristic features.
Abstract: The four types of genetic variants of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) found so far in the Indian populations surveyed by starch-gel electrophoresis of haemolysates are described, pointing out their characteristic features. Two of these variant types, namely, ‘Calcutta-1’ and ‘Madras-1, were reported earlier. The other two discovered subsequently and named trivially as ‘Calcutta-2’ and ‘Delhi-1 are now reported for the first time. A comparison between the four LDH variants found in India and those by others outside India has also been drawn.

TL;DR: The paper reports data on cleft chin in 900 individuals from Kerala, and a plea is made to collect more family, twin and population data.
Abstract: The paper reports data on cleft chin in 900 individuals from Kerala. The results of all surveys in India in which the cleft chin was observed have been tabulated. Gene frequency analysis has been attempted. Wide variations in gene frequencies were found for the gene cl. The major racial groups in India tend to follow definite trends. The trait varies from dimples to furrows, and is independent of age but reveals sex differences. A plea is made to collect more family, twin and population data.
