摘要

Abstract

This review summarizes the results of molecular genetic studies of the Dolgans, a Turkic-speaking ethnic group of Siberia which was formed in Taimyr during the 19th–20th centuries, incorporating lineages of the Tungus, Sakha (Yakuts), Russian old-settlers, Enets, and Nenets. The features of the genetic structure of the Dolgans are described according to the analysis of the Y chromosome, mitochondrial DNA, and autosomal loci. The composition and ratio of the components of the gene pool of different origins and genetic relationships with populations of neighboring regions are considered in the context of historical and linguistic data.
