[Genetic polymorphism in the Karelian population].

Distribution of the genetic markers of blood groups (AB0, MNSs, Rhesus, P, Lewis, Duffy, Kell-Cellano, Kell-Kp, Kell-Sutter, Kidd, Lutheran); of serum proteins (Hp, Tf, Gc, C'3, Pi); red-cell enzymes (6-PGD, EsD, GLO, AcP, subtypes of PGM) was studied in Karels from the South part of Karelian ASSR. The results of comparison of Karels with the other finno-ugric peoples revealed peculiarities of gene pool in Karelian population.
