To: ASSAMNET <assam@assamnet.org>
My wife Dil took the lead in contacting the Assamese families in Texas to
provide the samples for the Assamese group of the Indian-Americans in the
study. When we met Pragna Patel she spoke eloquently on the subject of genetic
variations. During our conversation, she expected variation among the Indian
genetic samples. However as the study says Indian samples form one group and
there is not much variation in the group.
If you want more information on the subject, please contact Pragna directly.

P.S. This is purely a scientific study in genes and diseases. Do not mix it
with political discussions that frequent this net, though the Hindustan Times
attempts to do so.

Dear Study Participant,
The study on Genetic variation in Indians that you participated in was
published and it was the subject of an Editorial in Hindustan Times.
Please see the following links for details and email me if you have any
questions or if your information needs to be updated.
The article is seen at:

For those of you who do not know, I have moved to University of Southern
California from Baylor College of Medicine and my new details are below.
Many thanks for your participation. It really made a difference!
We have now launched a research study on the genetics of heart disease and
type 2 diabetes in Asian Indians. If you or anybody you know is interested in
this study, please do visit our website: www.usc.edu/RICADIA and send me your
information or you may directly email me.
Best wishes,
Pragna Patel
