Endogamy - a major cause for health disparity in India: CSIR-CCMB study

Hyderabad, Mar 5 (UNI) Persistent practice of endogamy—marrying within small communities—is the primary cause of population-specific diseases in India, according to a recent study led by Dr. K. Thangaraj, CSIR Bhatnagar Fellow at the CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB), Hyderabad.
