Abstract

On the basis of archival data from the laboratory of genetic epidemiology of the RCMG for 11 Russian populations, a method for quantifying the genetic heterogeneity of populations based on the load of autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive hereditary pathology is proposed. It is shown that the Krasnodar region is characterized by the least heterogeneity, and the population of Tatarstan is the largest.
