Summary: | This article is a continuation of the series of works devoted to determining the frequency of mutations associated with the development of common monogenic diseases among the representatives of the Russian population. The frequencies of mutations in the genes
HFE
,
ATP7B
, and
MEFV
in primary blood donors who identify themselves as Russians and permanently reside in the Russian Federation were established. The method of adjacent probes was used for SNP genotyping. Genotyping revealed 57 carriers of the C282Y mutation of the
HFE
gene, the most significant in the development of hemochromatosis type I (the frequency in the sample of 911 donors was 6.3%, or 1 : 16), and 18 carriers of the H1069Q mutation in the
ATP7B
gene, associated with the development of Wilson–Konovalov disease (the frequency in the sample of 1032 donors was 1.7%, or 1 : 57). A high frequency of the K695R mutation in the
MEFV
gene (the frequency in the sample of 1212 donors was 7.3%, or 1 : 14), associated with the development of familial Mediterranean fever, characterized by a mild phenotype and incomplete penetrance, was also established. |
