[Population genetics study of rheumatism in the Dolgans of the Taimyr]
Abstract:
The results of medical-genetic examination of population in five villages of Taimir have been presented. Among them 824 dolgans (aborigines) have been inspected. The prevalence of rheumatism is in average 3,23%. The frequency of rheumatism in the southern subpopulation was higher, than in the North. Analysis of pedigrees has shown family aggregation of rheumatism which correlated with theoretically expected according to recessive hypothesis. Investigations of genetic markers have shown important distinction of rheumatic patients from population on ABC and Hp.
