[Ethnic genetics: ethnogeographic diversity of the gene pool of human populations around the world].
The study was undertaken to estimate a degree of genetic differentiation in human all-world population at the ethnic level of its structure. The genetic information for this work came from well-known A. Mourant's et al. world-wide survey on human genetic polymorphisms and from regional survey on the same polymorphisms of the USSR peoples. The data were grouped into 9 regional populations studied for 49 alleles and haplotypes belonging to 20 polymorphic loci. Average genetic distances from the all-world human gene pool to each of regional one, and from these to gene pools of ethnic groups within regions were estimated and compared. An unexpected result of this within-between-region comparative analysis is the shortest genetic distance between gene pools of the USSR peoples as a whole on the one hand, and all-world peoples on the other. At the same time, a considerable part of the total human genetic polymorphism is persisted in the USSR region.
