The study evaluates 6 described phenotypes BD - cutaneous-mucous, articular, ophthalmic, vascular, neurological intestinal different ethnic groups. Objectives: To assess the occurrence Methods: included 202 patients with from 5 common...

Research on fast methods for multiplying two n x n Boolean matrices has followed two directions. On the one hand, there are the asymptotically fast methods derived from algorithms to multiply matrices with integer entries. On the other hand, it has been of interest to devise algorithms which, while inferior in the asymptotic sense, are simple enough to be advantageously implemented. This paper ...

STUDY OBJECTIVE This study examined the change in ethnic differences in mortality in Estonia 1989-2000. DESIGN Two unlinked cross sectional census based analyses were compared. Total and cause specific mortality was analysed for ethnic Estonians and Russians. The absolute differences in mortality were evaluated through life expectancy at birth and age standardised mortality rates. Relative di...

Several studies examined the fine-scale structure of human genetic variation in Europe. However, the European sets analyzed represent mainly northern, western, central, and southern Europe. Here, we report an analysis of approximately 166,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms in populations from eastern (northeastern) Europe: four Russian populations from European Russia, and three populations fr...

In search of genetic markers of myocardial infarction (MI) risk, which have prognostic significance for Russians, we performed a replication study of MI association with genetic variants of PCSK9 (rs562556), APOE (epsilon polymorphism, rs7412 and rs429358), LPL (rs320), MTHFR (rs1801133), eNOS (rs2070744), and the 9p21 region (rs1333049) in 405 patients with MI and 198 controls. Significant MI ...

Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is a common cause of primary iron overload induced by genetic impairment of iron metabolism. More than 80% of HH patients in populations of European origin are homozygotes for a single mutation C282Y, or compound heterozygotes for C282Y and H63D mutations in the HFE gene. However, in the majority of Asian, African, Australasian, and Amerindian populations, freque...

Turks in history; As a result of war, occupation and oppression, they adopted more than one alphabet. However, the religion Islam 10th century used Arabic alphabet until first quarter 19th century. This has ensured cultural uni-ty among for centuries created thousands works. It was very difficult period Russians to occupy Turkish homelands. Because their geographies have been fragmented cul-tur...

Objective: Milk is an important source of nutrients. However the consumption of milk may cause abdominal complaints in lactose intolerant individuals. It is known that frequency of 13910C/C genotype is high among Northern Russians and exceeds the prevalence in northern Europe. In our study we tested two hypothesis 1) subjects with lactase non-persistent genotype (13910C/C) have more symptoms as...

BACKGROUND Data on puberty development are available for several countries but not for Central Asia. AIM Using data collected during the Kazakhstan Health and Nutrition Survey (KHA-ES), we evaluated the relationship between the living environment (rural vs. urban), ethnicity (Russians vs. Kazakhs) and pubertal status in children living in Kazakhstan. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Genital (G1-G5), br...
