title: [Characteristics of the gene pool of the Gagauz population of Moldova].
abstract: Population genetic data on Gagauzes from Moldova are reported for the first time. Blood groups AB0 and Rh and biochemical markers of genes HP, TF, GC, and PGM1 were determined in 190 Gagauzes. The following allelic frequencies were determined: AB0*0, 0.5241; AB0*A, 0.3279; RH*d, 0.4571; HP*1, 0.3544; TF*C1, 0.7472; TF*C2, 0.1770; TFC3, 0.0730; TF*B, 0.0028; GC*1F, 0.1025; GC*1S, 0.5932; GC*2, 0.3043; PGM1*1+, 0.5286; PGM*1-, 0.1000; PGM1*2+, 0.2607; and PGM1*2-, 0.1107. The data obtained indicate that the gene pool of Gagauzes is similar to those of neighboring southeastern European populations.
