Abstract The present study was conducted to find out the incidence of G-6-PD deficiency among the Jats and Brahmins of Sampla, Haryana. The incidence status of G-6-PD deficiency revealed a high percentage among the Jats and Brahmins of Haryana; the Jat males having the higher percentage (11.49%) than their Brahmin counter parts (10.42%), though the chi square comparison shows non significant differences (χ2= 0.5, df 1; NS). On the contrary, Jat females have a lower incidence of the deficient allele (6.13%) than the Brahmin females (7.14%). The heterozygous status shows that the Jat females have a higher percentage (10.20%) than that of their Brahmin counterparts (8.93%).
