title: [Polymorphism of the dopamine D2 receptor gene in populations from the Volga-Ural region].
abstract: The PCR technique was used to analyze the TaqIA- and NcoI-polymorphisms at the dopamine D2 receptor gene (DRD2) in eight populations of the Volga-Ural region belonging to Turkic (Bashkirs, Tatars, and Chuvashes), Finno-Ugric (Maris, Komis, Mordovians, and Udmurts), and Eastern-Slavic (Russians) ethnic groups. Population-specific patterns of the main TaqIA- and NcoI-polymorphisms distribution were established. Specific trends in changes of genotype and allele frequency of the dopamine D2 receptor gene depending on the ethnicity of the population were revealed.
