[Polymorphism of placental alkaline phosphatase on the level of DNA and protein in the Mordovian population].

Data on DNA and enzyme polymorphisms of human placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) in Mordvinian populations are presented. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) was detected after the digestion of DNA samples with Rsa I and Pst I endounucleases. The frequencies of the second (2) allele for PLAP Pst I and Rsa I were 0.53 and 0.192, respectively. Comparative data suggest that there are no population differences between Mordvinians and Scandinavian ethnic groups. In Mordvinians gene frequencies measured at the level of gene products were PLAP*1(S) = 0.681, PLAP*2(F) = 0.244, PLAP*3(I) = 0.069, and PLAP*18(D) = 0.006, indicating the similarity of the corresponding values in Scandinavians. The observed RFLP and "protein" genotype frequencies were in good agreement with that expected according to the Hardy-Weinberg equation. In the Mordvinian population, as in those, surveyed previously, a strong linkage disequilibrium between Pst I and Rsa I PLAP alleles was observed.

[Genetic position of Mordvinians among other Finno-Ugrian peoples].

Two different tribes of Mordvinians, Erzia and Moksha, were studied with respect to 13 different genetic marker systems. The Erzia and Moksha were shown to be fairly homogeneous; a significant gene frequency difference was found only in the MN blood group system. Estimation of the genetic distances revealed that Mordvinians showed the closest relationship to the Maris and to populations of the western Finno-Ugrian linguistic group such as Finns, Estonians and Karelians.

[Feasibility of establishing genetic homeostasis in human populations using a complex of genetic markers].

The information that we have about functional connection of different phenotypes of independent loci served for identification of their reciprocal behavior in cohorts differed in healthy status from the same population. Coefficients of correlation were computed between phenotypes according to the scheme: everyone with all in a Buryat, on the basis of the distribution of 17 genetic loci. Their space was transformed to a standardized one of eigenvectors. Calculation of the distances between genotypes was performed using the Euclidean formula. The same distances were estimated using an alternative formula of reverse cosine from correlation. It was determined: 1) subgroups of ecological risk and adaptive norm have peculiarities of phenotypical combinations; 2) the number of reliable correlations between phenotypes 2.5 times exceeded that in the adaptive part of the population as compared with unfavourable cohort (according to the health status); 3) the proportion of attractably connected phenotypes (the effect of their interaction) was higher than the corresponding repulsive connected ones (the effect of their repulsion) in the adaptive standard subgroup; 4) on the contrary, the proportion of repulsively connected phenotypes prevailed over the corresponding attractably associated ones in the ecological risk subgroup; 5) there were smaller genetic distances between phenotypes in the adaptive norm subgroup as compared with those in the ecological risk cohort. All these data permit to narrate about considerably greater functional balance of the studied portion of the genome in the clinically healthy subgroups that express the display of genetic homeostasis in complex discrete nonlinked characters. Interloci correlation between Hp and Cerumen systems in the three populations studied were obtained.

[Study of interlocus interactions using a series of gene markers in samples from groups with different health status].

Interloci equilibrium between pairs of gene markers in the samples of different health rate in the population of Buryats of Chitinskaya Province was tested. The following methods were used: calculation of interloci correlation coefficients, chi 2-testing of the hypothesis of interloci equilibrium and the modification of principal components analysis on the basis of the matrix of Pearson's coefficients of contingency. In the groups of "extreme" health rate the tendency to increase in interloci disequilibrium was discovered. The reason for this effect is the increase in some phenotype combination frequencies that can be considered as markers of non-specific individual resistance in the environmental condition of the populations studied.

[An ecogenetic approach to studying the adaptation and human health].

Genetic markers--blood groups ABO, RH, MN; serum proteins HP, PI, TF, C3; erythrocyte enzymes ACP1, ESD, AK1, PGM1, GLO1, PGD, PGP; and the other: PTC-tasting, ear wax types and color vision, were studied in two aboriginal Buryatian populations of Baikal Lake region: in Chitinskaya and Irkutskaya Provinces. Two samples were further divided into subgroups, according to their health status: "healthy", "indefinite" and "sick" by means of special regression procedure. The "healthy" subgroup of the Chitinskaya Province population is characterized by higher frequencies of PTC-tasters: 0.871 vs. 0.757 in the "sick" part (chi 2 = 5.36, p less than 0.05); higher frequency of the phenotype PI M1M1: 0.734 in "healthy" vs. 0.547 in "sick" (chi 2 = 8.89, p less than 0.01); also, lower frequency of the PI M1M2 phenotype: 0.148 and 0.299, respectively (chi 2 = 7.49, p less than 0.01); the frequencies of the phenotype TF C2C2 are: 0.015 and 0.076 (chi 2 = 5.48, p less than 0.05). In Irkutskaya Province population differences between "healthy" and "sick" subgroups were discovered for blood group AB: "healthy" 0.046 and "sick"--0.175 (chi 2 = 11.28, p less than 0.010); for GC (1F-2)--0.214 and 0.116 (chi 2 = 4.45, p less than 0.05). Some other differences between "healthy" and "sick" in both populations are not significant. Some trends concerning heterozygosity in loci--GC, PGM, TF were discovered. The results are considered from the viewpoint of higher fitness of some genetic traits in the populations studied.

[Genetic studies of phosphoglucomutase-1 (PGM1) subtypes: population aspects].

Distribution of the subtypes and gene frequencies of phosphoglucomutase-1 among some populations of Buryats, Kirghizes of the Pamir and Russians of Moscow district was analysed. The frequencies of PGM1 genes vary in Buryats being PGM1+(1) 0.647-0.743, PGM1-(1)-0.100-0.132, PGM2+(1)-0.122-0.199 and PGM2-(1)-0.007-0.037. Following frequencies of PGM1 genes were established for Kirghizes: PGM1+(1) = 0.614, PGM1-(1) = 0.114, PGM2+(1) = 0.217 and PGM2-(1) = 0.054; in Russian populations the frequencies were: PGM1+(1) = 0.578, PGM1-(1) = 0.110, PGM2+(1) = 0.253 and PGM2-(1) = 0.059. Peculiarities of PGM1 polymorphism in the USSR and all over the world were analysed. Parallel biodemographic investigations in Buryat population demonstrated differences in intensities of selection, related to concrete PGM genotypes.

[Genetic polymorphism of the erythrocytic enzymes in the Buryat populations].

Polymorphism of seven erythrocytic enzymes PGM1, ESD, CLO1, PGD and PGP were studied in five samples of Buryats. The main investment into differentiation between populations has been made by the following systems: CLO1, PGD and PGM1. Analysis of genetic distances between populations demonstrated that there was some parallelism among the genetic and anthropological differentiation in the Buryat populations. The groups of the Agingsky county (the area to the east from the Baikal Lake) have probably the largest proportion of the Caucasian genes as compared to other populations studied. One of the characteristics of the Buryats, especially for the population to the east from the Baikal Lake, is high frequency of the PGD allele. The rate of the genetic variability on the intra-population level is higher than the difference between populations. This means that the divergence between the Buryats populations is not very strong. Consideration of the genetic variability on the intra-population level seems to be more perspective for ecogenetic estimation of the adaptive genetic processes than analysis of the differences between populations studied.

[Possibilities of creating a genetic information database and its processing based on the DBase3-plus system].

Special methods are required for computing information on biological objects under complex research. The DBASE3-PLUS system offers vast possibilities for working with large quantity of different sets of information in multi-aspect statistical analysis. Usefulness of this system for creation of and operation with the data on distribution of genetic and non-genetic traits in a population was shown by means of the special set of applied programs in the dBase language. An example presented is aimed at distinguishing those genetic markers which probably can influence common individual health of the members of population. Special regression procedure was suggested to divide the population sample into subgroups with different health levels. Significant differences in distribution of some genetic markers were demonstrated between healthy persons and those who were suffering from chronic diseases.

[Polymorphism of alpha1-antitrypsin in Pamir populations. Reproductive compensation--possible mechanism for maintaining genetic diversity gor PI genes in human populations].

The distribution of the phenotype and gene frequencies of alpha 1-antitrypsin among Pamir's aborigines localized at high altitudes was studied. The Kirghizes of Murgab studied include mainly the mongoloid component in their composition. Populations of the Khuf river valley in West Pamir anthropologically belong to South caucasoids. The following frequencies of PI genes have been registered in Kirghizes (N = 102): M1 = 0.6961, M2 = 0.2108, M3 = 0.0539, Z = 0.0245, I = 0.0049, S = 0.0049, N = 0.0049; in the Khuf population (N = 122): M1 = 0.7910, M2 = 0.0943, M3 = 0.0984, Z = 0.0082, I = 0.0041, S = 0.0041; in the Pastkhuff population (N = 38): M1 = 0.7237, M2 = 0.1579, M3 = 0.1053, Z = 0.0132. A parallele biodemographic investigation in the Murgab population showed that couples, with one of the partners carrying the rare variant of PI demonstrated statistically significant increase in successful outcomes of pregnancies. The same cohort has displayed lower infant mortality rates, the absence of miscarried fetus and stillborn babies. Our results point to the possible existence of a mechanism of reproductive compensation serving to uphold the genetic diversity of PI genes.
