title: [Patterns of Gd- allele distribution in ethnic groups of the Soviet Union].
abstract: The rate and the spectrum of Gd- alleles have been determined in representative groups of schoolchildren and students from three populations (Russians, Ashkenazi Jews and Azerbaijhanians). The Gd- frequency is 0,36% in Russians (Kostroma region). 0.91% in Ashkenazi (Gomel region), these being 10.5% in Azerbaijhanians (Sheki region) and 3.6% for Kobi settlement of Apsheron region. G6PD-deficiency in Russians is represented by family forms, while in Ashkenazi it is II class alleles Kirovograd and Zhitomir and in Azerbaijhanians--a wide spectrum of II and III class alleles. Genetic factors involved in Gd- spectrum formation in these three populations are discussed.
