Project description:Total RNA was purified from keratinocytes isolated from FFPE arsenic-induced skin lesion samples collected from individuals exposed to high concentrations of arsenic exceeding 50 ppb in drinking water in Murshidibad district of West Bengal, India.
Project description:We genotyped 45 new samples from 4 populations of Northwest India and combined it with previously published data to characterize the population structure of modern Northwest Indian populations in the context of their geographic neighbors across South Asia and West Eurasia.

Project description:Gene expression changes in human populations exposed to chronic low level radiation have important implications. There are few areas around the world where human population is exposed to elevated levels of natural background radiation. The high level natural radiation areas (HLNRAs) of Kerala coast in south west India is unique for its wide variation in the background radiation dose (<1.0mGy to 45mGy/year). The areas with a background radiation dose of ≤ 1.5mGy/year are considered as normal level natural radiation areas (NLNRA), whereas areas with > 1.5mGy/year are considered as HLNRA. We used microarray analysis to find out global changes in gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of individuals belonging to different HLNRA groups as compared to individuals from normal level natural radiation areas (NLNRA).
