[Highly polymorphic regions of the genes for apolipoprotein B and angiotensin-converting enzyme in the Udmurt population]. / Izuchenie vysokopolimorfnykh uchastkov genov apolipoproteina B i angiotenzin-konvertiruiushchego germenta v populiatsii Udmurtov.

ABSTRACT

The hypervariable regions of the 3'-end of the apolipoprotein B gene (APOB3'-VNTR) and angiotensin converting enzyme gene (ACE), which had 10-15 alleles each, were studied in a sample from the Udmurt population by means of polymerase chain reaction (PCR). From the literature data, the genetic position of Udmurts among 12 groups of Caucasoid, Mongoloid, and Negroid populations was determined. The data obtained by the method of principal components indicated that Udmurts held an isolated position in the northern branch of the Caucasoid race.
