Conducted high-resolution HLA-typing loci HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1 and -DQB1 by massively parallel sequencing of 150 potential donors of hematopoietic stem cells from the Republic of Kalmykia. In the studied population, four new alleles identified that not previously registered by the International Committee on the Nomenclature of Factors of the HLA-system of WHO. During the HLA-typing identified: 29 alleles at the HLA-A locus, 44 - at the HLA-B locus, 26 - at the HLA-C locus, 15 - at the DQB1 locus, 37 - at the HLA-DRB1 locus. The following alleles have a frequency of more than 10%: HLA-A*02:01 (11,7%), HLA-A*01:01 (11%), HLA-B*51:01 (10,3%), HLA-B*58:01 (10,3%), HLA-C*06:02 (17,7%), HLA-C*03:04 (10,3%), HLA-C*03:02 (10%), HLA-DQB1*03:01 (26,7%), HLA-DQB1*02:02 (10%), HLA-DRB1*07:01 (11,7%). The most common HLA-A-B-C-DQB1-DRB1 haplotype is A*02:05-B*50:01-C*06:02-DQB1*02:02-DRB1*07:01 (3,7%). Deviations from the Hardy - Weinberg equilibrium not identified.

Agouti: A Lethal Allele
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...

Drug Distribution: Volume of Distribution

The volume of distribution refers to the theoretical volume necessary to contain the entire amount of an administered drug at the same concentration observed in the blood plasma. The body's intracellular fluid compartment, which makes up two-thirds of the total body water, is contrasted with the extracellular fluid compartment—comprising plasma and interstitial fluid—that accounts for one-third. The volume of distribution can vary depending on the characteristics of the drug.

F Distribution01:19

F Distribution

The F distribution was named after Sir Ronald Fisher, an English statistician. The F statistic is a ratio (a fraction) with two sets of degrees of freedom; one for the numerator and one for the denominator. The F distribution is derived from the Student's t distribution. The values of the F distribution are squares of the corresponding values of the t distribution. One-Way ANOVA expands the t test for comparing more than two groups. The scope of that derivation is beyond the level of this...
