[Ethnogenetics of yakuts from three regions of Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) inferred from the frequencies of biochemical gene markers].

Comparative data on the distribution of immunological markers (AB0 and RH), serum proteins (HP, TF, GC, PI, and C3), and red cell enzymes (PGM1, ACP1, ESD, and GLO1) polymorphisms in Yakut populations from three regions of the Republic are presented. Close genetic affinities of Yakuts to Altaians, Mongols, and Buryats along with their notable difference from Evenks, Evens, and Chukchi were demonstrated.

[Distribution of the ABO blood groups and the HP, TF, GC, PI and C3 serum proteins in Yakuts].

In Yakut populations examined, polymorphisms of immunological and serum protein markers, including AB0 and Rhesus blood groups, HP, TF, GC, PI and C3, were revealed. Gene frequencies for the systems studied fell into the following ranges: AB0 system: r, 0.514 to 0.

[Genetic polymorphism of erythrocytic enzymes in Yakut populations].

Polymorphism of the erythrocytic enzymes PGM1, ACP1, ESD, and GLO1 was found in Yakut populations. The allelic frequencies of the polymorphic systems studied varied within the following ranges: PGM1*1+, 0.5833-0.

[Genetic polymorphism of blood group and erythrocyte enzymes in three ethno-territorial groups of the northern European part of Russia].

Using the data on five red cell markers (AB0, PGM1, ACP1, GLO1, and ESD) polymorphisms, the population genetic structure of three ethnic territorial groups from the north of European Russia (Continental Nentsy, Kola Saami, and Russian Coast-dwellers) was described. In general, the groups studied a Caucasoid pattern of the frequency distribution of erythrocytic marker alleles. However, a substantial contribution of a Mongoloid component to the Nenets gene pool, expressed as a high frequency of the PGM1*1 allele along with a low frequency of the GLO1*1 allele, was observed.

[The Russian gene pool. Genogeography of erythrocyte genetic markers (ACP1, PGM1, ESD, GLO1, 6-PGD)].

The study continues the series of works on the Russian gene pool. Gene geographic analysis of five erythrocytic gene markers best studied in the Russian population (ACP1, PGM1, ESD, GLO1, and 6-PGD) has been performed. Gene-geographic electronic maps have been constructed for 13 alleles of these loci and their correlations with geographic latitude and longitude.
