Abstract
Based on a comparison of the data on the frequencies of 1206 surnames registered in the Malokarachayevsky district of Karachay-Cherkessia with a number of other parameters and historical data, it was concluded that Karachay surnames are acceptable for use as a quasigenetic marker in a study of a population-genetic description of the area.
