Summary/Abstract: Scientific work is based on analyzing the genetic heterogeneity of the Roma population from the territory of the Tuzla region based on classical genetic markers. We analyzed the genetic heterogeneity of the Roma population according to the parameters of qualitative variations. The studied parameters were evaluated genetic heterogeneity relative frequency of recessive alleles for static morphological (shape o fear lobes, chin form, hairiness medium digital phalanges, nail shape, bending the distal phalanx of the little finger, the digital index) and dynamic morphological characteristic (bending of the tongue, extensiveness of proximal joint of the thumb, the extensiveness the distal joint of the thumb, the way crossing your arms, the way clapping). Result of t-test showed no significant difference in appearance of the recessive homo zygotes for the observed parameters of the qualitative variations in sub samples of boys an girls of the Roma population. According to these parameters estimates inter-sexed configuration heterogeneity Roma population is a relatively genetically homogeneous populations.
