| Abstract: | The diversity of hereditary pathology in 5 regions of Kostroma district was studied. 32 nosological forms of autosomal dominant, 30 autosomal recessive and 7 X-linked recessive disorders were found. The most frequent autosomal dominant disorders were: neurofibromatosis, pigmentary degeneration of retina, hypochondroplasia, ichtiosis, idiopathic scoliosis. The most frequent among the autosomal recessive disorders were: oligophrenia, pigmentary degeneration of retina, muscular atrophy of juvenile Kugelberg--Welander type, congenital cataract.
