[Variety of hereditary diseases in the Adygei Autonomous Region]
Abstract:
This report is one of the series of communications dedicated to medico-genetical description of the Adyg population in the autonomous national district. The peculiarities have been considered of the forms of hereditary diseases both in the Adyg and Russian populations neighbouring each other in the Adyg national district territory. It was inferred that the minimal distance between Adyg and Russian populations consists in the level of aggregation and variety of autosomal-recessive forms which depended on subdivision and the level of inbreeding in the populations studied.

Lethal Alleles
Lucien Cuénot discovered lethal alleles in 1905 while studying the inheritance of coat color in mice. The agouti gene is responsible for the color of the coat in mice. This gene codes for an agouti-signaling protein, which is responsible for melanin distribution in mammals. The wild-type allele gives rise to gray-brown coat color in mice, while the mutant allele gives rise to yellow coat color. In addition to coat color, the agouti gene is associated with the yellow...
