The molecular genetic analysis of the polymorphic variants of the CAG repeat-containing locus of the andro- gen receptor (AR) gene was performed in the populations of Hadza and Datoga. Allele frequency distribution patterns were established. Alleles containing 20-25 repeats were the most abundant in both populations were the. The populations studied were compared with Asians (Han), white Americans, and Africans (Ariaal). Sta- tistically significant difference between populations of Hadza and Datoga in the distribution of the AR allelic variants was demonstrated.
