[Statistical data on hereditary nervous system diseases in Ashkhabad and Krasnovodsk Provinces, the Turkmen SSR].
Epidemiology and the clinical course of hereditary diseases of the nervous system were studied in the Ashkhabad and Krasnovodsk Provinces of the Turkmen SSR versus the data from other regions of the country. A detailed analysis was made of 236 cases of hereditary neural pathology. The intensity rate (21.6 X 10(-5)) of the pathology in the studied area turned to be significantly higher in the other regions considered. Such a high incidence rate was attributed to the existence of isolated communities, marriages between close relatives and a high rate of birth.
