Abstract
The distribution of ABO, MN, Rh, P and Le blood group systems, haptoglobins, and common anthropogenetic features in the population of 2 villages of the Samarkand district, USSR, was studied. The examined samples have appeared to be heterogenous for ABO, Rh and P systems. For MN and Le unification is possible. The summary data on the allotment of phenotypes are as follows: (%) O - 30.2, A - 35.3, B - 26.2, AB - 8.3, M - 33.9, N - 26.2, MN - 39.9, Rh- - 1.5, P - 78.6, Le(a-b+) - 33, Le(a+b-) - 22.2, Le(a-b-) - 34.2 and Le(a=b+) - 10.6. Gene frequencies were calculated. The occurrence of haptoglobins in both villages is the same. The summary data are as follows: Hp1=1 - 4.8, Hp1=2 - 36.2, Hp2=2 - 59%. Gene frequencies were calculated. In the population of the village Karakent there is a change of the frequency in many features of dermatoglyphics. The frequencies of anthropogenetic features do not differ between the villages. The frequency of the elbow type of hand is 86.9%. The right type of hand clasping - 55.0%, the right type of arm folding - 50.4%, right-handedness - 99.7%. The occurrence of square lobe of the ear is 21%, spliced ear is 26.2%, the hanging down is 52.7%. The frequency of the gene insensitivity for PTC [phenylthiocarbamide] taste is 0.47 in 1 village and 0.53 in the other.
