Abstract
Previous efforts to reconstruct evolutionary history of Palearctic ground squirrels within the genus Spermophilus have primarily relied on a single mitochondrial marker for phylogenetic data. In this study, we present the first phylogeny with comprehensive taxon sampling of Spermophilus via a conventional multilocus approach utilizing five mitochondrial and five nuclear markers. Through application of the multispecies coalescent model, we constructed a species tree revealing four distinct clades that diverged during the Late Miocene. These clades are 1) S. alaschanicus and S. dauricus from East Asia; 2) S. musicus and S. pygmaeus from East Europe and northwestern Central Asia; 3) the subgenus Colobotis found across Central Asia and its adjacent regions and encompassing S. brevicauda, S. erythrogenys, S. fulvus, S. major, S. pallidicauda, S. ralli, S. relictus, S. selevini, and S. vorontsovi sp. nov.; and 4) a Central/Eastern Europe and Asia Minor clade comprising S. citellus, S. taurensis, S. xanthoprymnus, S. suslicus, and S. odessanus. The latter clade lacked strong support owing to uncertainty of taxonomic placement of S. odessanus and S. suslicus. Resolving relationships within the subgenus Colobotis, which radiated rapidly, remains challenging likely because of incomplete lineage sorting and introgressive hybridization. Most of modern Spermophilus species diversified during the Early-Middle Pleistocene (2.2-1.0 million years ago). We propose a revised taxonomic classification for the genus Spermophilus by recognizing 18 species including a newly identified one (S. vorontsovi sp. nov.), which is found only in a limited area in the southeast of West Siberia. Employing genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism genotyping, we substantiated the role of the Ob River as a major barrier ensuring robust isolation of this taxon from S. erythrogenys. Despite its inherent limitations, the traditional multilocus approach remains a valuable tool for resolving relationships and can provide important insights into otherwise poorly understood groups. It is imperative to recognize that additional efforts are needed to definitively determine phylogenetic relationships between certain species of Palearctic ground squirrels.

Abstract
Hemophilia A is a clotting disease caused by defects in the F8 gene. A lot of them are described and most are unique or have polyphyletic origin. We here study the origin of a pathogenic variant found in a few patients. We sequenced F8 gene for seven hemophilia A patients from the Ural region, Sverdlovskaya oblast, Russia. We constructed haplotypes for them and for 21 hemophilia A patients with other defects from the same area as a control group using four previously described X-chromosome loci associated with F8 gene. We identified a new missense variant p.(His634Arg) in seven apparently unrelated patients with mild hemophilia A from Sverdlovskaya oblast. The haplotype analysis showed that all patients share the same haplotype, absent in the other patients, suggesting a founder effect. The most recent common ancestor for the p.(His634Arg) patients is estimated to exist around the end of XVII century; however, the 95% confidence interval spans from XII to early XX century. The Ural region did not suffer from the recent bottlenecks or isolation. Therefore, the founder effect could be a natural consequence of population structuring in a relatively stable population. We identified a founder effect mutation in hemophilia A, which is a quite rare event for this disease.

Abstract
Background. LiFraumeni syndrome (LFS) is a rare, autosomal dominant, hereditary disorder that is characterized by an increased risk for certain types of cancer, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), particularly. Germline TP53 mutations are associated with LFS. Genetic counseling and follow-up is essential for patients with LFS and their relatives. Special therapeutic approaches are needed for treatment of oncological disease in these patients. The article presents a series of clinical cases of patients with ALL and SLF, considers general issues of diagnosis and treatment of adult patients with this hereditary genetic syndrome.
Aim. Describe clinical observations of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and LFS and consider general issues of diagnosis and treatment of adult patients with LFS and ALL.
Materials and methods. TP53 gene mutations were screened using Sanger sequencing in 180 de novo patients with Ph-negative (B- and T-cell) and Ph-positive ALL treated by Russian multicenter protocols (ALL-2009, ALL-2012, ALL-2016) at the National Research Center for Hematology, Moscow, Russia, and at the hematology departments of regional clinics of Russia (multicenter study participants).
Results. TP53 gene mutations were found in 7.8% (n=14) of de novo ALL patients. In patients, whose biological material was available TP53 gene mutational status was determined in non-tumor cells (bone marrow and peripheral blood during remission, bone marrow samples after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells transplantation and in tissue of non-hematopoietic origin) for discriminating germline mutations. The analysis included 5 patients (out of 14 with TP53 mutations), whose non-tumor biological material was available for research. Germline status was confirmed in 4 out of 5 B-cell ALL (n=3), T-cell ALL (n=1) investigated patients.
Conclusion. Practical value of the research is the observation that the greater part of TP53 gene mutations in patients with Ph-negative B-cell ALL are germinal and associated with LFS.

Abstract
ISSUE The study of activating mutations (NRAS,KRAS,FLT3,JAK2,CRLF2genes) of RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK and JAK/STAT signaling pathways in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) in adult patients which are included in Russian multicenter clinical trials. MATERIALS AND METHODS Within the multicenter study there were 119 adult patients included withde novoB-ALL. The study was considered as prospective and retrospective. The group withBCR-ABL1-negative B-ALL consisted of up to 93 patients (45 male and 48 female, at the age of 17 to 59, the median age 31), they were treated according to the protocols ALL-2009, ALL-2016. The median follow-up lasted for 19 months (1119). The group withBCR-ABL1-positive B-ALL with up to 26 patients (10 male and 16 female, at the age of 23 to 78, the median age 34 years) was included in the study as well. The treatment was carried out according to the protocols ALL-2009 and ALL-2012 in combination with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The median follow-up lasted for 23 months (4120). The molecular analysis of activating mutations inNRAS,KRASgenes (RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathway) andJAK2,CRLF2genes (JAK/STAT signaling cascade) was performed via Sanger sequencing. The internal tandem duplications (ITDs) inFLT3gene were studied by fragment analysis. The evaluation of CRLF2 expression was fulfilled via flow cytometry. RESULTS Activating mutations inNRAS,KRAS,FLT3genes were found in 22 (23.6%) patients withBCR-ABL1-negative B-ALL. In total, 23 mutations were revealed in theNRAS(n=9),KRAS(n=12), andFLT3(n=2) genes, according to statistics that was significantly more frequent than withBCR-ABL1-positive B-ALL, these genes mutations were not identified in patients (p=0.007). The frequency of mutations detection inKRASandNRASgenes in patients withBCR-ABL1-negative B-ALL was comparable as 12.9% (12 of 93) to 9.7% (9 of 93), respectively (p=0.488). One patient was simultaneously revealed 2 mutations in theKRASgene (in codons 13 and 61).FLT3-ITD mutations were detected in 3.5% (2 of 57) cases ofBCR-ABL1-negative B-ALL. In patients withBCR-ABL1-positive B-ALLFLT3-ITD mutations were not assessed. Violations in the JAK/STAT signaling cascade were detected in 4 (4.3%) patients withBCR-ABL1-negative B-ALL. They were represented by the missense mutations ofJAK2gene (n=3) and the overexpression of CRLF2 (n=2); in one patient were detected the overexpression of CRLF2 and a mutation inJAK2gene simultaneously. No mutations were found inCRLF2gene. In patients withBCR-ABL1-positive B-ALL noJAK2mutations were detected. As long as analyzing demographic and clinical laboratory parameters between groups of patients with and without mutations, there were no statistically significant differences obtained. In the analyzed groups of patients, long-term therapy results did not differentiate according to the mutations presence inNRAS,KRAS,FLT3,JAK2genes. Also, substantive differences were not shown in the rate of the negative status achievement of the minimum residual disease between patients with and without activating mutations in the control points of the protocol (on the 70th, 133rd and 190th days). CONCLUSION NRAS,KRAS,FLT3,JAK2activating mutations do not affect the long-term results of the therapy and the rate of the negative status achievement of the minimum residual disease in patients withBCR-ABL1-negative B-ALL treated by the Russian multicenter clinical trials.

Abstract
Clonal composition of human multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MMSCs) labeled with lentiviral vectors carrying genetic barcodes was studied. MMSCs were transduced with a cloned library of self-inactivating lentiviral vectors carrying 667 unique barcodes. At each cell culture passage, 120 cells were plated one cell per well in 96-well plates. The efficiency of cloning and labeling of the clonogenic cells was determined. DNA was extracted from the cell-derived colonies, and the barcodes were identified by Sanger sequencing. Also, DNA was extracted from the total MMSC population at each passage to analyze the diversity and representation of barcodes by deep sequencing using the Illumina platform. It was shown that the portion of MMSCs labeled with the lentiviral vectors remained stable in the passaged cells. Because of the high multiplicity of infection, the labeling procedure could decrease the proliferative potential of MMSCs. Identification of barcodes in individual cell clones confirmed the polyclonal character of the MMSC population. Clonal composition of MMSCs changed significantly with the passages due to the depletion of proliferative potential of most cells. Large clones were found at the first passage; at later passages, many small clones with a limited proliferative potential were detected in the population. The results of deep sequencing confirmed changes in the clonal composition of MMSCs. The polyclonal MMSC population contained only a small number of cells with a high proliferative potential, some of which could be stem cells. MMSCs with a high proliferative potential were detected more often in the earliest passages. In this regard, we would recommend to use MMSCs of early passages for regenerative medicine applications based on cell proliferation.

Abstract
The article provides review of possible mechanisms of inhibitor coagulopathies, in particular of acquired hemophilia A. This pathology is an extremely rare disease occurring in 1-2 cases in 1 million per year. In the present study we provide data for two clinical cases of hemophilia A in women. These cases had different development mechanisms, although both women have a newly discovered missense mutation His2026Arg in the VIII factor gene. The matter of main interest is the description of the disease development in the patient with an acquired idiopathic hemophilia A with a possible disease occurrence due to an asymmetric X-chromosome inactivation (lyonization). In this particular case lyonization led to the late manifestation of the hemophilia A carrier's state and development of severe form of the inhibitor-associated acquired hemophilia A. We also discuss therapeutic approaches to these forms of the disease, considering there are no concise protocols for case management due to an extreme rarity of the pathology. Acquainting the clinical personnel working it the different areas of medicine with suchlike inhibitor coagulopathies has a major practical importance.

Abstract
Thalassemia and qualitative hemoglobinopathy are hereditary disorders of Hb synthesis that lead to change in the Hb conformation or a decrease in the synthesis of structurally normal Hb, and consequently, to erythron pathology. Many variants of Hb are unstable or have altered affinity for oxygen, and, in heterozygous form can be associated with clinical and hematological manifestations (hemolytic anemia, hypochromic microcytic anemia, erythrocytosis). HbD-Punjab [β121 (GH4) Glu → Gln; HBB: C.364G> C] is variant of Hb carrying the amino acid substitution in the 121 position of β-globin chain. In all cases reported so far, patients with HbD-Punjab/β+-thalassemia (IVSI+5 G-C) combination experienced typical thalassemia with hypochromic microcytosis. HbD-Punjab was detected by electrophoresis from 37 to 94% of total Hb. The article describes rare clinical case of the cohabitation of HbD-Punjab/β+-thalassemia (IVSI+5 G-C) in a patient with homozygous variant of Gilbert's syndrome observed in AS Loginov Moscow Clinical Scientific Center.

Abstract
In contrast to the abundant fossil record of arctic ground squirrels, Urocitellus parryii, from eastern Beringia, only a limited number of fossils is known from its western part. In 1946, unnamed GULAG prisoners discovered a nest with three mummified carcasses of arctic ground squirrels in the permafrost sediments of the El’ga river, Yakutia, Russia, that were later attributed to a new species, Citellus (Urocitellus) glacialis Vinogr. To verify this assignment and to explore phylogenetic relationships between ancient and present-day arctic ground squirrels, we performed 14C dating and ancient DNA analyses of one of the El’ga mummies and four contemporaneous fossils from Duvanny Yar, northeastern Yakutia. Phylogenetic reconstructions, based on complete cytochrome b gene sequences of five Late Pleistocene arctic ground squirrels and those of modern U. parryii from 21 locations across western Beringia, provided no support for earlier proposals that ancient arctic ground squirrels from Siberia constitute a distinct species. In fact, we observed genetic continuity of the glacialis mitochondrial DNA lineage in modern U. parryii of the Kamchatka peninsula. When viewed in a broader geographic perspective, our findings provide new insights into the genetic history of U. parryii in Late Pleistocene Beringia.

Abstract
The hematopoietic bone marrow microenvironment is formed by proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The MSC compartment has been less studied than the hematopoietic stem cell compartment. To characterize the structure of the MSC compartment, it is necessary to trace the fate of distinct mesenchymal cells. To do so, mesenchymal progenitors need to be marked at the single-cell level. A method for individual marking of normal and cancer stem cells based on genetic "barcodes" has been developed for the last 10 years. Such approach has not yet been applied to MSCs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility of using such barcoding strategy to mark MSCs and their descendants, colony-forming units of fibroblasts (CFU-Fs). Adherent cell layers (ACLs) of murine long-term bone marrow cultures (LTBMCs) were transduced with a lentiviral library with barcodes consisting of 32 + 3 degenerate nucleotides. Infected ACLs were suspended, and CFU-F derived clones were obtained. DNA was isolated from each individual colony, and barcodes were analyzed in marked CFU-F-derived colonies by means of conventional polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequencing. Barcodes were identified in 154 marked colonies. All barcodes appeared to be unique: there were no two distinct colonies bearing the same barcode. It was shown that ACLs included CFU-Fs with different proliferative potential. MSCs are located higher in the hierarchy of mesenchymal progenitors than CFU-Fs, so the presented data indicate that MSCs proliferate rarely in LTBMCs. A method of stable individual marking and comparing the markers in mesenchymal progenitor cells has been developed in this work. We show for the first time that a barcoded library of lentiviruses is an effective tool for studying stromal progenitor cells.

Abstract
AIM to estimate the spread of weak D antigen types of the Rhesus system in the citizens of the Russian Federation and a possibility of serologically identifying these types. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The red blood cells and DNA of people with weakened expression of D antigen were investigated using erythrocyte agglutination reaction in salt medium (2 methods); agglutination reaction in the gel columns containing IgM + IgG anti-D antibodies, indirect antiglobulin test with IgG anti-D antibodies (2 methods); polymerase chain reaction to establish the type of weak D. RESULTS A rhesus phenotype was determined in 5100 people in 2014-2015. The weakened agglutinable properties of red blood cells were detected in 102 (2%) examinees. 63 examinees underwent genotyping to identify the variants of the weak D antigen, which identified 6 weak D types. There were the most common weak D types 3 (n=31 (49.2%)) and weak D type 1 (n=18 (28.6%)), including weak D type 1.1 in one (1.6%) case. The other 4 weak D antigen types were as follows: weak D type 2 (14.3% (n=9)), weak D type 15 (4.8% (n=3)), weak D type 4.2 (DAR) (1.6% (n=1)) and weak D type 6 (1.6% (n=1)). The antiglobulin test in the gel column containing antiglobulin serum was the most sensitive serological assay to identify the weak D antigen. Only a molecular test could establish weak D type 15 in 2 samples of red blood cells with Ccdee and ccdEe phenotypes. CONCLUSION The weak D antigen could be serologically identified in 96.8% of cases. When testing for weak D, particular attention should be given to people with the D-negative phenotype who had the C or E antigens. Our investigations conducted for the first time in Russia will be able to improve the immunological safety of red blood cell-containing medium transfusions for patients.

Abstract
Hemophilia B is a hereditary X-linked coagulation disorder. This pathology is caused by various defects in the factor IX gene, which is, being about 34 kb long and consisting of eight exons, localized in the Xq27 locus of the. X-chromosome long arm. Mutations were revealed in 56 unrelated patients with hemophilia B in this study by using direct sequencing of factor IX gene functionally important fragments. Forty-six mutations were found with prevailing missense mutations (n = 30). The rest of the mutations were nonsense (n = 4) and splicing (n = 4) mutations, large deletions (n = 3), microdeletions (n = 2), microinsertions (n = 2), and promoter mutations (n = 1). Eleven of 46 mutations were previously unknown for human populations.

Abstract
Afibrinogenemia is a rare congenital coagulopathy that leads to life-threatening bleeding. In afibrinogenemia, plasma fibrinogen levels are less than 0.1 g/L. The clinical manifestations of the disease can be both bleeding and thromboses of different localizations, which is determined by the multifunctional role of fibrinogen in hemostasis. The described cases demonstrate different clinical phenotypes of the disease. In both cases the diagnosis was confirmed by genetic examinations that revealed homozygous mutations in the fibrinogen A genes. The nature of the mutations assumes consanguineous marriages, as confirmed by the results of a genealogical analysis. Fibrinogen preparations are promising in treating afibrinogenemia in Russia.

Abstract
The utility of DNA Barcoding for species identification and discovery has catalyzed a concerted effort to build the global reference library; however, many animal groups of economical or conservational importance remain poorly represented. This study aims to contribute DNA barcode records for all ground squirrel species (Xerinae, Sciuridae, Rodentia) inhabiting Eurasia and to test efficiency of this approach for species discrimination. Cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI) gene sequences were obtained for 97 individuals representing 16 ground squirrel species of which 12 were correctly identified. Taxonomic allocation of some specimens within four species was complicated by geographically restricted mtDNA introgression. Exclusion of individuals with introgressed mtDNA allowed reaching a 91.6% identification success rate. Significant COI divergence (3.5-4.4%) was observed within the most widespread ground squirrel species (Spermophilus erythrogenys, S. pygmaeus, S. suslicus, Urocitellus undulatus), suggesting the presence of cryptic species. A single putative NUMT (nuclear mitochondrial pseudogene) sequence was recovered during molecular analysis; mitochondrial COI from this sample was amplified following re-extraction of DNA. Our data show high discrimination ability of 100 bp COI fragments for Eurasian ground squirrels (84.3%) with no incorrect assessments, underscoring the potential utility of the existing reference librariy for the development of diagnostic 'mini-barcodes'.

Abstract
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is an autosomal dominant hereditary disease, caused by partial deficiency of porphobilinogen deaminase (PBGD), one of the key enzymes ofheme biosynthesis. This study describes molecular genetics of AIP in Russia. Mutation analysis of PBGD gene in 70 unrelated patients revealed 47 various genetic defects, 28 of which had not been described previously. Mutations 53delT and Argl 73 Trp (recorded 8 times, in total 23%) proved to be the most common in Russia. Microdeletion 53delThas monophyletic origin and was found only in Russia. Molecular genetic examination of 132 relatives of AIP patients from 40 families revealed 52 latent carriers of the disease. Low (about 10%) AIP penetrance indicates that a mutation in the PBGD gene is an important but not sufficient prerequisite for clinical manifestation of the disease. Modulation of penetrance in erythropoietic protoporphyria by coinheritance of a mutant allele and a functionally defective wild type allele of ferrochetalase gene has been shown previously. We hypothesized that similar mechanism works in AIP. Sequencing of the full length PBGD genes from unrelated AIP patients as well as SN P analysis, and the analysis of abnormal PBGD mRNA splicing showed that in case ofAIP, this hypothesis is not true and some other factors are responsible for the penetrance of this disease.

Abstract
The ranges of the great tit Parus major and the Japanese tit P. minor overlap in the middle Amur region, where hybridization of these two species occur. These species have contacted for nearly a century on the western slope of the Malyi Khingan Ridge (the central part of the sympatry zone), but the great tit has colonized territories to the east of the ridge only in the last two decades. The percentage of the P. minor's allele of intron 2 of the mioglobin gene has significantly increased from 8.9% in the west to 27.8% in the east in phenotypically major's populations. Thus, the percentage of foreign mtDNA in P. major populations did not change significantly from west (6.2%, n = 120) to east (3.2%, n = 61). Simultaneous use of two genetic markers (one nuclear and the other mitochondrial) supports our conclusion on strong introgression in the populations of both species, which nevertheless maintain their morphological specificity in the contact zone.

Abstract
We developed a method for gene transfer into mesenchymal stromal cells. Lentivirus vector containing green fluorescent protein gene for labeling stromal and hemopoietic precursor cells was obtained using two plasmid sets from different sources. The vector was injected into the femur of mice in vivo and added into culture medium for in vitro infection of the stromal sublayer of long-term bone marrow culture. From 25 to 80% hemopoietic stem cells forming colonies in the spleen were infected with lentivirus vector in vivo and in vitro. Fibroblast colony-forming cells from the femoral bones of mice injected with the lentivirus vector carried no marker gene. The marker gene was detected in differentiated descendants from mesenchymal stem cells (bone cavity cells from the focus of ectopic hemopoiesis formed after implantation of the femoral bone marrow cylinder infected with lentivirus vector under the renal capsule of syngeneic recipient). In in vitro experiments, the marker gene was detected in sublayers of long-term bone marrow cultures infected after preliminary 28-week culturing, when hemopoiesis was completely exhausted. The efficiency of infection of stromal precursor cells depended on the source of lentivirus. The possibility of transfering the target gene into hemopoietic precursor cells in vivo is demonstrated. Stromal precursor cells can incorporate the provirus in vivo and in vitro, but conditions and infection system for effective infection should be thoroughly selected.

Abstract
In search of new efficient markers for genetic diagnostics of hemophilia A, two tri-nucleotide microsatellite repeats (STR) at chromosome X loci, which flank coagulation factor VIII gene (F8), namely STR HA472--CTT-repeat, which is localized adjacent to the GAB3 gene 163 bp apart from the 3' end of the F8 gene and STR HA544--repeat (CTT)x(ATT)y located at a distance of 375 bp from the 5' end of the F8 gene were discovered. Detailed analysis using PCR and sequencing has shown that STR HA472 contains two long variable CTT-blocks separated by small spacer CCTCCC. The location of recognition site of restriction endonuclease Mnl1 (CCTC) in the spacer permits to test differentially the polymorphic blocks and thus to increase the analysis informativity. STR HA544 is also represented by two polymorphic blocks (CTT and ATT), for separate amplification of which highly informative PCR amplification assays were elaborated. The study has been done using DNA samples of 212 individuals (125 women) from 48 families with hemophilia A carriers. Our results point to Mendelian inheritance of the markers studied, a high number of allelic variants and high heterozygosity, which was 90% and 100% for HA544 and HA472, respectively. This permitted us to use these data for practical gene diagnostics of the carriers and prenatal diagnostics of hemophilia A. In addition to high informativity STR HA472 and HA544 are highly important for diagnostics as they are located at a shorter distance than other known extragenic polymorphisms of the F8 gene. In contrast to dinucleotide repeats, trinucleotide repeats are readily tested, not requiring high-resolution electrophoretic systems. In addition, they are located on the opposite sites of the F8 gene. This permits to control homologous recombination events in the locus and thus to prevent diagnostic mistakes.

Abstract
Frequencies of the CIT SNP alleles at position 2403 of the human coagulation factor VIII gene intron 1, containing the AluI restriction endonuclease recognition site, were examined. Genomic DNA samples for the analysis were obtained from the consulted women and their relatives from the families with hemophilia A. A total of 221 unrelated X chromosomes were studied. The two allelic variants were found with similar frequencies of T(Alu+), 0.53 and C(Alu-), 0.47. The heterozygosity index evaluated as equal to 0.50 was correlated with the experimental heterozygote number. The absence of a tight linkage between the AluI SNP and the widely used in the hemophilia A gene diagnostics HindIII polymorphism (CIT SNP at position 103 of intron 19) was demonstrated. Summarized informativity of these two markers for obligate carriers and for those detected in this study constituted 68% (32 out of 47). At the same time using one of the markers, only 40% (HindIII) and 51% (AluI) of the consulted women were informative. The new marker was used in 13 prenatal DNA diagnostics of hemophilia A. A new deletion polymorphism (del TGA, position 2281-2283 of intron 1) was described in close proximity of the AluI SNP with the frequency of about 0.05. among the five other SNP of the factor VIII gene examined (Bme 18I, intron 1; HpaII, intron 13; MnlI, exon 14; Bst4CI, exon 25; and MseI, exon 26) no effective diagnostic markers were found. Only the MnlI polymorphism could be recommended for limited usage.

Abstract
In four ground squirrel species from the Volga region-yellow (Spermophilus fulvus), russet (S. major), little (S. pygmaeus), and speckled (S. suslicus)--four hybridization variants (major/fulvus, major/pygmaeus, major/suslicus, and pygmaeus/suslicus) have been reliably described. Earlier we have shown that populations of S. major from the Volga region were characterized by wide introgression of mtDNA from S. fulvus and S. pygmaeus, which probably, resulted from ancient hybridization. In this study, the same populations were used to analyze the introgression of the Y chromosome, which (unlike mtDNA) is paternally inherited. Three genes, ZfY, SRY, and SmcY were tested as Y-chromosomal candidate markers. It was demonstrated that Y chromosome of ground squirrels lacked the ZfY gene, while its homologous structure, ZfY(X), was presumably linked to the X chromosome. The SRY region examined was rather conservative. In particular, the sequences determined in S. major and S. fulvus were identical, while three out of four substitutions found in S. pygmaeus were located in the coding region. The SmcY gene was found to be the most suitable marker, providing distinguishing of all of the four ground squirrel species by nine nucleotide substitutions. Introgression at the Y chromosome was observed only in two cases: in one S. major individual (out of 51 phenotypically pure animals) caught in the major/fulvus sympatry zone, and in four (one litter) out of fourteen S. fulvus individuals caught in close vicinity of the sympatry zone of these two species. Among 28 S. pymaeus and 9 S. suslicus individuals, no foreign SmcY genes were detected. Two colonies of the "hybrid accumulation" type were examined with eight major/suslicus hybrids analyzed in the first and seventeen major/fulvus hybrids in the second colony. The prevalence of the S. major paternal lineages was observed in both colonies (87.5 and 82.4%, respectively). The data obtained suggest that compared to wide mtDNA introgression, introgression of Y chromosome in the Volga region ground squirrels is statistically significantly less frequent event.

Abstract
AIM To characterize patients with various nosological unities [symbol: see text] of porphyria in accordance with their age, clinical symptoms, provoking factors, therapy and outcome. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients with acute intermittent porphyria (43), hereditary coproporphyria (8), variegate porphyria (3), porphyria cutanea tarda (7), hepatoerythropoietic porphyria (1), and hereditary erythropoietic porphyria (2) were studied. One patient was suspected of porphyria caused by deficiency of delta-aminolevulenic acid dehydrogenase. RESULTS The patients were from the CIS. The overwhelming majority of them were young and middle-aged subjects. Rapid development of the disease and severe neurological symptoms were predominantly observed in patients with acute forms of porphyria. CONCLUSION Early diagnosis of porphyrin metabolism disorders makes it possible to decrease abruptly the number of cases leading to severe complications, disability, and fatal outcome. The use of inexpensive methods of screening of porphyrin metabolism disorders provides a promising approach to solving this problem. These methods should be used in municipal hospitals. In addition, asymptomatic carriers of defective gene should be revealed at the preclinical stage using various methods of molecular genetic assay.

Abstract
AIM To investigate effectiveness of allogenic transplantation of the bone marrow (TBM) in the treatment of hemoblastosis patients from a high risk group, the course of donor bone marrow retention, tolerance and antitumor activity of this therapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS 11 patients received TBM in low-intensity regimen in Hematological Research Center in 1999-2001. All the patients were from a high risk group. Conditioning was based on the combination of fludarabin with busulfan. The transplanted precursor cells were taken from the bone marrow and/or peripheral donor blood. The retention was controlled by differential agglutination of erythrocytes and amplification of hypervariable sites of DNA. Minimal residual disease was controlled by standard cytogenetical tests, fluorescent in situ hybridization or reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS All the patients tolerated pretransplantation conditioning well. By chimerism, signs of retention of donor bone marrow on day +30 after TBM were observed in 9 patients of 11. Acute graft versus host reaction developed in 5 patients. This reaction was treated conventionally with methylprednisone and cyclosporin A, in 4 cases with a good effect. A complete remission persists in 5 patients. Mean follow-up lasted for 241 days. CONCLUSION Thus, transplantation was successful in 50% patients with an unfavourable prognosis who are still in a complete remission. This suggests efficacy of the above method of treatment.

Abstract
Four species of ground squirrel--yellow (Spermophilus fulvus), russet (S. major), small (S. pygmaeus), and spotted (S. suslicus)--occur in the Volga region. Between S. major and S. pigmaeus, S. major and S. fulvus, and S. major and S. suslicus, sporadic hybridization was reported. Using sequencing and restriction analysis, we have examined the mtDNA C region in 13 yellow, 60 russet, 61 small, 45 spotted ground squirrels, and 9 phenotypic hybrids between these species. It was shown that 43% of S. major individuals had "alien" mitotypes typical of S. fulvus and S. pygmaeus. Alien mitotypes occurred both within and outside sympatric zones. No alien mitotypes were found in 119 animals of the other three species, which suggests that only one parental species (S. major) predominantly participates in backcrosses. Phenotypic hybrids S. fulvus x S. major and S. major x S. pygmaeus) were reliably identified using RAPD-PCR of nuclear DNA. However, we could find no significant traces of hybridization in S. major with alien mitotypes. Analysis of p53 pseudogenes of S. major and S. fulvus that were for the first time described in the present study produced similar results: 59 out of 60 individuals of S. major (including S. major with S. fulvus mitotypes) had only the pseudogene variant specific for S. major. This situation is possible even at low hybridization frequencies (less than 1% according to field observations and 1.4 to 2.7% according to nuclear DNA analysis) if dispersal of S. major from the sympatric zones mainly involved animals that obtained alien mtDNA via backcrossing. The prevalence of animals with alien mitotypes in some S. major populations can be explained by the founder effect. Further studies based on large samples are required for clarifying the discrepancies between mitochondrial and nuclear DNA data.

Abstract
Porphobilinogen deaminase (PBGD) is a key enzyme of the heme biosynthetic pathway. Defects in the PBGD gene lead to an autosomal dominant disease, acute intermittent porphyria (AIP). Almost all AIP patients with rare exceptions are heterozygous for the defective gene. To date, at least 160 different mutations causing AIP are identified. Extensive investigations along this line are conducted in many countries of the world. In Russia these studies had not been hitherto performed. Here we report the results of molecular genetic examination of four Russian patients with AIP diagnosed from clinical symptoms. By direct sequencing of the PBGD gene or the corresponding cDNA, we have detected four mutations, three of which were not previously encountered in the world population. These are TAAG deletion in intron 7 between positions +2 and (IVS7 2-5 delTAAG); T deletion in the initiation codon ATG of exon 3, and the G for C replacement at position -1 of intron 5 (IVS5 as -1 G:C), which disrupts splicing. In addition, in one female patient, a known deletion CT in codon 68 was revealed. In two patients, expression of PBGD gene alleles was significantly disproportional, so that normal mRNA prevailed in one case and mRNA of nonerythroid type in the other. Deletion in intron 7 was easily detectable due to the formation of a heteroduplex fragment with abnormal electrophoretic mobility directly in PCR. This simple heteroduplex analysis allowed us to exclude AIP carriage in son and daughter of a female patient with the genetic defect.

Abstract
To establish the type of hemopoiesis in 15 patients with hemoblastosis subjected to allogenic bone marrow transplantation, the amplification of four hypervariable human genome loci containing tandem repeats with varying copy numbers (loci ApoB, DX, S52, VWF, and YNZ22) were studied by means of polymerase chain reaction. The sensitivity determined by amplification of DNA mixture in dilutions was 1-2%. Based on the data obtained, various types of hemopoiesis recovery after bone marrow transplantation were determined; in most cases, a complete donor chimerism was revealed; in some patients, mixed chimerism; and in one case, a host type of hemopoiesis was found. An association between hemopoiesis type and further development of the disease was observed.

Abstract
A T-to-C substitution, replacing a hydrophobic isoleucine residue with a hydrophilic threonine residue in position 100 of a mature protein molecule, was found at codon 117 of the GM-CSF gene. The mutation frequencies were estimated in 51 DNA samples from healthy adult donors and also in 20 samples from patients with different neoplastic myeloid disorders. Almost equal substitution frequencies in patients and normal individuals were observed, suggesting that the defect was not associated with leukemia. Additionally the GM-CSF gene intron 1 sequence was refined.

Abstract
The polymorphism of Alu-repeats, which are located in the introns of the human factor IX gene (copies 1-3), was studied. To identify polymorphic variants, direct sequencing of PCR products that contained appropriate repeats was used. In each case, 20 unrelated X chromosomes were studied. A polymorphic Dra I site was found near the 3'-end of Alu copy 3 within the region of the polyA tract. A PCR-based testing system with internal control of restriction hydrolysis was suggested. Testing 81 unrelated X chromosomes revealed that the frequency of the polymorphic Dra I site is 0.23. Taq I polymorphism, which was revealed in Alu copy 4 of factor IX gene in our previous work, was found to be closely linked to Dra I polymorphism. Studies in linkage between different types of polymorphisms of the factor IX gene revealed the presence of a rare polymorphism in intron A that was located within the same minisatellite region as the known polymorphic insertion 50bp/Dde I. However, the size of the insertion in our case was 26 bp. Only one polymorphic variant was found among over 150 unrelated X chromosomes derived from humans from Moscow and its vicinity.

Abstract
The frequency of different polymorphic variants of the multiallelic locus DXS52 (St14) of the human X-chromosome, adjacent to the factor VIII gene, was evaluated by means of PCR for the heterogeneous population of Moscow and Moscow oblast'. It was shown that the heterozygosity index of this polymorphism in the studied population is much lower (0.71) than in Western Europe (0.80-0.85), which can apparently be explained by a higher frequency of the prevailing allele 1690 (0.52 compared to 0.36). Five new St14 alleles were detected during this study. The total informativity of the polymorphic markers St14 and HindIII (intron 19 of the factor VIII gene), which are most commonly used for hemophilia A detection, was evaluated. Among 83 investigated women, only 57 (69%) were heterozygous for at least one of the markers used, which is also much lower than in Western-European populations (90-95%).

Abstract
A new Taq I polymorphism in Alu repeat 4 of the human factor IX gene is reported. This polymorphism is associated with a C-T transition at the 72-bp position of the Alu repeat consensus sequence. A simple PCR system for testing of this structural anomaly, with internal control of restriction hydrolysis, was developed. The frequency of the new polymorphic site and its linkage with other polymorphisms of the factor IX gene were also evaluated. The new polymorphism was used for establishing hemophilia B carriers.

Abstract
Haplotyping of the beta-globin gene cluster was performed on DNA samples from 110 Azerbaidzhanian beta-thalassemic patients and their families. During this study, we found 18 different haplotypes and determined the frequency of their occurrence. Nine of these haplotypes have never been observed earlier in the studied population. One of the haplotypes was found only in beta-thalassemia alleles. Several haplotypes were associated with beta-thalassemia mutations found earlier in Azerbaidzhan.

Abstract
The SA7 (C8) simian adenovirus was sequenced from the 1478th to 3194th nucleotide. The region includes the 3'-terminal part of E1A and the major part of the E1B coding region. The sequence obtained was compared with the structure of SA7 (P) DNA previously determined in the region 1-2338, and many differences were found which are nucleotide substitutions, microdeletions and microinsertions. Among point substitutions the most frequent was the C-->T transition in CG pairs known as hot spots of mutations. Differences of our sequence from the previously published one was also revealed.

Abstract
In this investigation the primary structure of E1A and E1B regions of SA7 (C8) simian adenovirus integrated in malignant SH2 rat cell line was studied. Southern blotting revealed at least two copies of the SA7 oncogene integrated in the SH2 genome. PCR analysis of E1A and E1B regions showed heteroduplex structures, proving the different structure of the integrated copies. The heteroduplex molecules with different electrophoretic mobility were separated, and chains corresponding to different copies were sequenced according to the modified Sanger method. We found that two copies differ mainly in microsatellite regions, in E1A between positions 894-902 (GCG)3/(GCG)4, in E1B between positions 2037-2048 (GCA)3/(GCA)4. It is necessary to stress that all deviations found belong to the coding regions of the SA7 oncogene.

Abstract
Prenatal DNA-diagnosis of beta-thalassemia in a family from Azerbaijan revealed two mutations new for this region--G-A transition at codon 15 and G-C transversion at position 5 of the intron 1. Prenatal diagnosis was carried out by direct sequencing of in vitro amplified (PCR) beta-globin gene fragments with a modified Sanger technique using thermostable DNA polymerase. The absence of parents mutations in the fetal DNA allowed us to conclude that the fetus is normal. The diagnosis was proved at hematological testing of the baby borne.

Abstract
New systems are proposed for the PCR analysis of HindIII polymorphic sites in the gamma A and gamma G globin genes and of TaqI polymorphic site in the human factor IX gene of blood population. DNA fragments amplified according to the systems described contain constant restriction site of the appropriate endonuclease, in addition to the polymorphic one, which significantly improves the reliability of the RELP analysis. The systems proposed are highly specific and may be used for DNA diagnosis of beta-thalassemia and haemophilia B.

Abstract
An electroporation method has been used to introduce marker gene Neor into mouse stem hemopoietic cells which are capable of long-term hemopoiesis maintenance in marrow long-term cultures. Integration of the gene was tested by polymerase chain reaction. The effect of the procedure averaged 50-80% of marked CFUc. Electroporation did little damage to hemopoietic cell precursors. Gene transfer can be made most effectively using bone marrow from mice injected 5-fluorouracil 4 days prior to the experiment.

The existence of marker gene in stromal cells was established by the method of polymerase chain reaction. The transduced stromal precursor cells create normal haemopoietic microenvironment. The data obtained would be important for the further investigation of proliferation and differentiation of stromal precursor cells.

Abstract
Polyalkylating derivatives of single-stranded polynucleotides (30-200-mers) complementary to the long E1 oncogene sequences of simian adenovirus SA7 cause inherited normalization of SH2 and G11 cells transformed with adenovirus SA7; certain deletions in the integrated proviral E1A oncogene were observed in several cases during this process. The transformed cells are indifferent to reagents noncomplementary to the E1 region. Thus polyalkylating derivatives of single-stranded 30-200-mers act as addressed mutagenes which react in a specific way with the integrated complementary DNA sequences of E1 oncogene in transformed rodent cells and realize oncogene-directed mutagenesis in vivo. During this treatment temporary normalized cells reverting to the initial transformed phenotype are also produced.

Abstract
The transport regularity of the [32P]-oligo/polynucleotides and their polyalkylating derivatives into SH2 rat cells transformed with SA7 adenovirus DNA was investigated. Derivatives penetrate the SH2 cells and their distribution in the subcellular fractions are proportional to the concentration of reagent in the medium. The transport efficiency of the derivatives is inhibited sharply with cell concentration increase and practically does not depend on the action of cell metabolism inhibitors. The data obtained assumes the mechanism of the derivatives transport to be liquid endocytosis. Being distributed in the cell components the polyalkylating derivatives were accumulated by the cell nuclei up to 10(5)-10(7) molecules per nucleus. Transport efficiency is much greater in the anchored cells than in the suspended ones. Though essential dephosphorylation of the utilized substances is observed in the SH2 cells, part of them maintain native chain length and the 5'-phosphate group after 1 h incubation in nucleic acids obtained from the cell nuclei.

Abstract
Allele polymorphism has been evaluated using blot hybridization and a polymerase cascade of DNA synthesis in 40 families at high risk of hemophilia A (a total of 147 subjects) and in 15 families with Duchenne's myodystrophy, Heterozygous carriage of hemophilia A was identified or confirmed in 18 and ruled out in 4 close female relatives of probands. Prenatal tests for fetal hemophilia A were performed in 5 women from families with hemophilia A (in the 1st trimester in 2 and in the 2nd trimester in 3). Four diagnoses of hemophilia A were confirmed and 1 was ruled out. The DNA methods proved revealing in 34 of 40 families with hemophilia A and in 11 of 15 families with Duchenne's myodystrophy. Three of 9 probands were found to have a deletion of the proximal gene for Duchenne's myodystrophy in the DNA probe area of XY 1.1. Prospects of screening for heterozygous carriage and prenatal identification of hemophilia A and Duchenne's myodystrophy are discussed.

Abstract
A method is described which uses the Hind III polymorphism in intron 19 of the factor VIII gene for genomic family analysis and prenatal diagnosis by the polymerase chain reaction. The primers derived from the exon 19 and 20 sequences allow amplification of the whole intron 19 resulting in a 730 bp fragment. Hind III restriction of this fragment provides fragments of 250 bp or 160 bp and 90 bp respectively, specific for the intragenic Hind III polymorphism. The constant 480 bp fragment can be used as an internal control to circumvent misdiagnosis due to incomplete or failure of restriction. Using this method a prenatal diagnosis of haemophilia A in the first trimester of pregnancy is demonstrated.

Abstract
Beta zero-thalassaemia comprises a series of closely related haemoglobinopathies which are widely spread in some areas (the Mediterranean, Caucasus, Central Asia, and others). It is caused by a variety of mutations in the beta-globin gene which damage its expression, thus leading to severe illness, which is often lethal at an early age. By means of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), restriction analysis, and sequencing by the Maxam-Gilbert method, we have identified a number of mutations in the beta-globin gene that cause beta zero-thalassaemia in the Azerbaijanian population, viz AA deletion in codon 8, C----T transition in codon 39, and a previously unknown G deletion in codons 82/83.

Abstract
A new variant of the PCR test system is discussed which allows one to detect Bcl I and Hind III polymorphic sites of FVIII gene. It can be used for rapid and effective diagnosis of hemophilia A, especially, in combination with the blot-hybridization technique that detects other polymorphic variants of FVIII gene. The method proposed is highly accurate, reliable and simple. It allows one to analyze submicrogram quantities of DNA without using radiolabeled probes. The whole procedure takes several hours. The variant discussed can, possibly, be the part of the general scheme of hemophilia diagnosis completely based on the effective PCR test.

Abstract
Murine fibroblasts NIH 3T3 were transfected with the plasmid pASP containing simian adenovirus oncogene insertion. Focus forming transformants were cloned with a final dilution technique and a new cell line G11 was created as a result. Transformed status of this cell line is evidenced by changes in morphology, specific cytochemical and adhesion properties, ability to grow in semisolid agar and FCS concentration growth independence. Presence of intact integrated E1a-region of adenovirus SA7 oncogene was shown by blot-hybridization technique. Transformed status of G11 cells can be explained by integration of SA7 oncogene, that is evidenced indirectly by the increased resistance to heat shock.
