Abstract
The paper aims to review the diversity of monogenic hereditary disorders (MHD) in the Circassians of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic (KCR). In total, 50817 Circassians were investigated. The populations of eight districts (Ust-Dzhegutinsky, Karachayevsky, Malokarachayevsky, Prikubansky, Khabezsky, Abazinsky, Nogaysky, and Adyge-Khablsky) and of the city of Cherkessk were studied. Two hundred fifty patients from 167 families were registered. The prevalence of MHD in Circassians happens to be 1: 214. The nosological spectrum of MHD in Circassians includes 70 disorders: 34 with autosomal dominant, 25 with autosomal recessive, and 11 with X-linked inheritance patterns. Confirmatory DNA diagnostics was performed in 56 patients. Accumulation of particular diseases in the Circassian population was revealed in comparison with the previously surveyed ethnic groups/populations of Russia. The cluster analysis was performed on the basis of the prevalence of AD and AR disorders and determined the genogeographic position of the Circassians among eight ethnic groups of Russia (13 populations in total). The total size of the surveyed populations was over 3.5 million people: six Russian regions, Tatars of the Tatarstan, Bashkirs of the Bashkortostan, Chuvashs of the Chuvash Republic, Maris of the Mari El Republic, Udmurts of the Udmurt Republic, Adygeans of the Republic of Adygea, and Circassians of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic. The general pattern for AD and AR diseases was similar: six Russian populations group within a single cluster, being remote from people of the Volga-Ural region and the North Caucasus (Adyghe: Adygeans and Circassians).
