[Population sturcture of the Gorno-Mariĭskiĭ region of the Mariĭ El Republic].
The genetic structure of the population of the Gorno-Mariiskii raion, Marii El Republic, was studied. The population consists of two major groups, highland Mari and Russians. The former constitute the majority of the rural population, and the latter, the majority of the urban one. A marked ethnicity-related marriage assortation was found. The value of random inbreeding was estimated using frequencies of surnames. It varied from 0.00015 to 0.00069 (the weighted average was 0.00026). The local inbreeding (a) for Gorno-Mariiskii raion estimated according to Malecot was 0.00029. The local inbreeding for marriages between Mari (0.0022) was five times higher than for marriages between Russians. The indices of endogamy were 0.84 in the rural population and 0.14 in the urban population. The matrix of genetic distances and its image in the form of genetic landscape suggest a regularly distorted isolation by distance and realized panmixia.
