A total of 267 blood samples from persons belonging to the Shrimali Vania Soni caste group in Gujarat State, Western India have been analyzed for 6 blood group, 4 serum protein and 19 red cell enzyme systems, for haemoglobin and beta-thalassaemia and for red-green colour blindness. A number of rare genetic variants were detected, including a unique electrophoretically fast variant of superoxide dismutase. Genetic distance comparisons with other caste groups in Gujarat State show that Vania Soni from Surat are a distinctive group clustering with another subdivision of the Vania. The remaining Vania Soni cluster together and are distinct from the other caste groups examined in Gujarat. However, on the basis of individual genetic markers the Vania Soni appear not to be genetically differentiated in any remarkable way from other Hindu populations in western and northern India.
对来自印度西部古吉拉特邦施里马利·瓦尼亚·索尼种姓群体的267份血样进行了分析，检测了6种血型、4种血清蛋白和19种红细胞酶系统、血红蛋白和β地中海贫血以及红绿色盲。检测到了一些罕见的基因变异，包括一种独特的超氧化物歧化酶电泳快速变异体。与古吉拉特邦其他种姓群体的遗传距离比较表明，来自苏拉特的瓦尼亚·索尼是一个独特的群体，与瓦尼亚的另一个分支聚类在一起。其余的瓦尼亚·索尼聚在一起，与在古吉拉特邦检测的其他种姓群体不同。然而，基于个体遗传标记，瓦尼亚·索尼在遗传上似乎与印度西部和北部的其他印度教群体没有显著差异。
