Abstract:
The HLA alleles in the Kazakhstan genofund and in the global genofund were compared. The study was carried out on 2283 Kazakhstan donors, 4 566 antigens by five locuses A, B, C, DRB1, DQB1. Comparison with the global HLA alleles was carried out using http://www.allelefrequencies.net open internet resource created by the Royal Liverpool University Hospital. The database included information on 8 locuses (A, B, C, DRB1, DPA1, DPB1, DQA1, DQB1), collected in different programs for HLA genofund studies (anthropological research, blood and bone marrow donorship, HLA-associated diseases, etc.). The results demonstrated the need in further development of the hemopoietic stem cell (HSC) donor register in the Republic for more effective search for compatible donors.

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...
