On the basis of the examination of random samples of seven populations of reindeer inhabiting the Montane-Taiga Zone and of nine population inhabiting the Tundra Zone of the Magadan Region 8 alleles of transferrin locus described earlier (TfA, TfC, TfE, TfG, TfH, TfJ, TfK and TfM) were identified and the ninth hitherto unknown allele (TfN) was discovered. Gene concentrations of all these alleles in populations studies were determined. The reindeer of the North-East of Siberia differ in frequencies of Tf alleles from those of Norway and, apparently, also from the reindeer inhabiting the northern regions of the European part of the USSR and from the American caribou. The allele TfK is possibly associated with the resistance of reindeer to necrobacteriosis.
在对居住在山地泰加林地带的七个驯鹿种群以及马加丹地区苔原地带的九个驯鹿种群的随机样本进行检测的基础上，鉴定出了先前描述的8个转铁蛋白位点等位基因（TfA、TfC、TfE、TfG、TfH、TfJ、TfK和TfM），并发现了第九个迄今未知的等位基因（TfN）。测定了种群研究中所有这些等位基因的基因浓度。西伯利亚东北部的驯鹿在Tf等位基因频率上与挪威的驯鹿不同，显然也与居住在苏联欧洲部分北部地区的驯鹿以及美洲驯鹿不同。等位基因TfK可能与驯鹿对坏死杆菌病的抗性有关。
