PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF THE GEOGRAPHIC RESEARCH OF A FAMILY: A CASE STUDY
Journal Title: Health Problems of Civilization - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 4
Abstract
<B>Background. </B> A combined genetic and geographic analysis facilitates the discovery of one’s ethnic background by studying the closest ancestors and those who lived thousands of years ago. The following article describes a practical application of doing geographic research on a person’s history. The objective of the study is to demonstrate the capacity of genetic and geographic analysis in the identification of the ethnic background of one of the article’s co-authors. <B>Material and methods</B>. A combined analysis of genetic alleles and geographic location was performed. A buccal smear from the inside of the cheek was done for a further study that was performed in Medical Genomix laboratory, USA. The material was collected at Mother and Child laboratory, Kyiv. <B>Results</B>. The genetic profile of the examined person was presented. The available alleles, detected by markers, are specific enough to a particular historical group (nation), which enables determining the percentage of ancestors of an individual under study in a particular region. <B>Conclusions</B>. Combined genetic and geographic research may serve both as a source of information on the ethnic origin of a particular person and as a tool while studying some places and geographic locations.
