We have studied the DNA polymorphism at DYS385, a Y-chromosomal tetranucleotide repeat locus among five anthropologically distinct ethnic groups of Kerala state in Southern West India. The ethnic groups were Ezhavas, Muslims, Nairs, Arayas and Thandans and they speak "Malayalam." an Indo-Dravidian language. Peripheral blood samples were collected from 72 random, healthy and normal male volunteers for this study.
