[Load of autosomal recessive diseases in populations of Kirov Province and its relationship to consanguinity]

Abstract

The dependence of the load of autosomal recessive disorders on a variation of random inbreeding in the populations of the 9th Districts of the Kirov Province was investigated. The values of the Fst varied between different districts from 0.00021 to 0.0011 and the values of load of AR--from 0.73 to 2.01 affected per 1000. There is a close significant correlation (r = 0.90) between the parameters in the population studied which increased under analysis of the population considering the coefficients of random inbreeding.
