Abstract: | The insertion-deletion polymorphism of the serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4) was studied using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in eight populations from the Volga-Ural region (the Bashkir, Chuvash, Tatar, Udmurt, Mari, Mordovian, and Komi populations and the population of Russians living in the Arkhangel's skii raion of Bashkortostan). For this polymorphic system, the pattern of distribution of main population parameters was established in the region studied. Depending on population ethnicity, specific trends were revealed in the pattern of frequencies of alleles and genotypes of gene SLC6A4. |
