Abstrakt		Genetic studies of population isolates have great potential to provide a unique insight into genetic differentiation and phenotypic expressions. Galičnik village is a population isolate located in the northwest region of the Republic of North Macedonia, established around the 10th century. Alport syndrome-linked nephropathy with a complex inheritance pattern has been described historically among individuals in the village. In order to determine the genetic basis of the nephropathies and to characterize the genetic structure of the population, 23 samples were genotyped using a custom-madenext generation sequencing panel and 111 samples using population genetic markers. We compared the newly obtained population data with fifteen European population data sets. NGS analysis revealed four different mutations in three different collagen genes in twelve individuals within the Galičnik population. The genetic isolation and small effective population size of Galičnik village have resulted in a high level of genomic homogeneity, with domination of R1a-M458 and R1b-U106*haplo groups. The study explains complex autosomalin cisdigenic and X-linked inheritance patterns of nephropathy in the isolated population of Galičnik and describes the first case of Alport syndrome family with three different collagen gene mutations.
