CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF THE GENE POOL RUSSIAN OLD-BELIEVERS FROM SIBERIA ASSESSED BY STUDYING THE POLYMORPHISM OF BLOOD-GROUPS, ISOZYMES, AND SERUM-PROTEINS

The frequency distributions of Al(1)A(2)B0, Rhesus, MNSs, P, Duffy, Ke ll, Hp, Tf, AcP, PGM(1) alleles, and haplotypes were studied in Siberi an populations of Old Believers (Burnyi village, Krasnoyarskii krai, a nd Isetskii raion, Tyumenskaya oblast) and in ethnic Russians from Tyu menskaya oblast. Features characteristic of the genetic structure of t hese groups were revealed The Siberian groups of Russians were shown t o be genetically removed from European Russian populations (Tverskaya and Vologodskaya oblasts). The Burnyi population of Old Believers was significantly removed from the other groups of Russians due to peculia rities in the sample.
