The study of an ethnic marriage assortativeness of Karachays is carried out within the complex medico-and population and genetic observing of the population of Karachay-Cherkesia. The study is making now by the laboratory of genetic epidemiology of Research Centre for Medical Genetics accord-ing to the developed protocol. The diverse ethnoconfessional structure of the population of the Caucasus removes puts out this work from a framework of utilitarian requirements of the regional medico-genetic consultation. 11280 marriage records from four regions of Karachay-Cherkessia (Karachaevsky, Maloka-rachaevsky, Ust-Dzhegutinsky, Prikubansky, 193 thousand people) for 1990–2000 were analysed. The Karachays are the title nation in these areas exceeding three quarters of the population of areas. Monoeth-nic marriages of Karachays make 88.3%. Polyethnic marriages of Karachays make 11.7%, including 3.92% – with Russians, 1.28% – with Abazins, 1.22% – with Circassians. Representatives of 42 other ethnoses, a quarter from them – isolated cases act as marriage partners of Karachays. Among marriages of representatives of other ethnoses three quarters – monoethnic. The level of metisation intensity is middle in comparison with that for some other ethnoses – Kalmyks, Tatars, Udmurts, Uyghurs, Shors, Bashkirs, Chuvashes, Koryaks, Evens. At such level of a metisation through 5.6 generations (about 1.5 centuries) a half of Karachays will be the carriers of genes of other ethnoses. Ethnic assortativeness of Karachays H – about unit. It is peculiar for the title nation. At the same time population isn’t ethnically panmix – the preference of the monoethnic marriage in population in.
