title: [Polymorphism of microsatellite loci DYS19, DYS393, and frequency of the T-C transition of the RBF5 locus on the Y-chromosome in inhabitants of the Volga-Ural region].
abstract: Polymorphism of the DYS19 and DYS393 microsatellite loci and T-C transition at the RBF5 locus of the Y chromosome were analyzed in Volga-Ural populations of Bashkirs, Tatars, Chuvashes, Maris, Mordovians, Udmurts, and Komis. For the DYS19 locus, statistically significant differences were observed between Trans-Ural and Northeastern Bashkirs; between Trans-Ural Bashkirs and Tatars; and between Udmurts and other populations of the Volga-Ural region, excluding Trans-Ural Bashkirs. The DYS393 locus allele frequency distribution patterns were similar in all populations studied. The highest and the lowest frequencies of T-C transition at the RBF5 locus was detected in Udmurts (0.68) and in Mordovians (0.09), respectively. Association of C-alleles with the DYS19/DYS393 microsatellite haplotypes was investigated. The major haplotypes specific to the Turkic- and Finno-Ugric populations were revealed.
