Three groups of Saraswat Brahmans in Western India and a group of Goan Catholics ethnologically related to Saraswats were studied for various genetic markers. Saraswats have higher A than B with an Rh(D)-negative incidence ranging from 10 to 17%. All the groups have low incidence of G-6-PD deficiency (up to 1%). Incidence of thalassaemia trait ranges from 1 to 6%. Gm(1) was present in 85-87%. Intergroup differences suggest genetic closeness between the various groups with genetic distance ranging from 0.8 to 1.5. Genetic relationship between Goan Catholics and Chitrapur Saraswats confirms the ethnological and historical evidence of relationship between the two groups.
对印度西部的三组萨拉斯瓦特婆罗门以及一组在人种学上与萨拉斯瓦特人相关的果阿天主教徒进行了各种基因标记的研究。萨拉斯瓦特人的A血型高于B血型，Rh(D)阴性发生率在10%至17%之间。所有组的葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶（G-6-PD）缺乏症发生率都很低（高达1%）。地中海贫血特征的发生率在1%至6%之间。Gm(1)的出现率为85%-87%。组间差异表明不同组之间存在基因上的亲近关系，基因距离在0.8至1.5之间。果阿天主教徒与奇特拉布尔萨拉斯瓦特人之间的基因关系证实了两组之间人种学和历史上的关系证据。
