Abstract

Within the framework of a complex medical population genetic study of the population of Karachay-Cherkessia, the standard population genetic characteristics for Abazins were calculated and analyzed: the endogamy index (no more than 0.60), Barrai’s parameters (I r = 0.0070, ν = 0.0131, α = 143.5, H = 8.09, R = 39.65), ethnic assortativeness A (from 0.84 in the Kubina aul to 3.58 in Cherkessk), estimates of Malécot’s isolation by distance parameters (σ is not more than 80 km, a is 0.001–0.003, b is around 0.01), and values of random inbreeding (0.0018).
