    Abstract:
    This report is a second one in a series of works devoted to the medico-genetical screening of Uzbekistan populations. The paper comprises the results of the analysis of the populational structure of one of the village councils (soviets) of the Urgut District of the Samarkand Region. The main parameters of the population studied were as follows: total number 1529 persons, the average number of inhabitants of one village--328. The proportion of the inhabitants studied--56%, the average number of persons per family--5.22; the average period between subsequent generations--30-35 years, the gametic index--0.8, the inbreeding coefficient inferred from pedigrees--0.018899--0.00781, Fst = 0.03577, the average genetic distanse according to Edwards--0.0231-0.0671. The distribution of Mendelian markers (ABO, Rh, Hp and Ptc) was studied. The observed ratio between a high degree of inbreeding and a relatively low extent of isolation of populations permits to explain satisfactorily the distribution and frequencies of hereditary pathology in the Urgut District of the Samarkand Region pointed out in the previous report.
