[Polymorphism of immunological and biochemical marker genes in rural populations of the Tuva Republic].

This article continues the series of publications on the population genetic structure of the Tuva Republic. The polymorphism of immunological (ABO, MN, and the Dd locus of Rhesus) and biochemical (TF, GC, HP, PGD, PGM1, ACP1, and ESD) marker systems was studied in three rural populations of the Tuva Republic: the Shinaanskii, Todzhinskii, and Bai-Taiginskii populations (the Kungurtug, Toora-Khem, and Teeli villages, respectively). Genetic subdivision of the populations and genetic distances between the Tuvinian populations and the populations of neighboring regions were estimated.

[Genetic demographic characteristics of the rural population of the Tuva Republic: marriage structure and inbreeding].

Marriage structure was studied in three rural populations of the Tuva Republic: the Shinaan population and the populations of Todzhinskii and Bai-Taiginskii raions (districts). The Shinaan and Bai-Taiginskii populations had high levels of endogamy (0.6704 and 0.

[Genetic-demographic characteristics of the rural population of the Republic of Tuva: reproductive indicators and the structure of Crow's indices].

The age limits of the female reproductive function, vital statistics, and Crow's indices were estimated in populations of three districts of the Tuva Republic that were remote from one another. These were the Kyzyl (the Shinaan population), Todzhinskii, and Bai-Taiginskii raions. The monoethnic Shinaan population was characterized by the longest reproductive period (15.

[Genetic demographic characteristics of the rural population of the Tuva Republic: ethnic and tribal composition and sex and age structure].

The ethnic, tribal, sex, and age composition was studied in populations of three districts of the Tuva Republic that were remote from one another. These were the Kyzylskii (the Shinaan population), Todzhinskii, and Bai-Taiginskii raions. The Todzhinskii population was characterized by a mixed ethnic composition dominated by Tuvinians and Russians (62.

Genetic markers in the Tuvan population of Todja, Siberia.

Todja is a secluded region of northern Tuva-situated in the Sayany Mountains, Siberia. The aboriginal population of Todja is Tuvan. A total of 128 healthy Tuvans living in Todja were typed for HLA-A, -B and -C antigens and several plasma and erythrocyte protein polymorphisms (Hp, Tf, Gc, ESD, ACP, PGM1, PGD and ADA).

[A genetic pool study of the population of the Republic of Tyva using genetic markers for the search for associations with tuberculosis].

Eighty three Tyvin patients with local pulmonary tuberculosis and 295 healthy donors of the same nationality were examined. They are resided in the central area of Tyva (in Kyzyl and its vicinities). In addition, 132 healthy Tyvin-Todjins were examined.

[Various characteristics of chronic ischemic pancreatitis].

The authors examined 40 patients with chronic ischemic pancreatitis without concomitant pathology of the alimentary organs in order to define the features of the disease clinical picture and progress. It was found that patients with disseminated atherosclerosis, especially when it is coupled with essential hypertension, and with extravasal stenosis of the celiac trunk are predisposed to the development of chronic ischemic pancreatitis. Factors promoting pancreatic ischemia include abnormalities of the blood rheological properties seen in vascular pathology and alimentary hyperlipidemia.
