Estimation of allele frequencies of 10 studied markers based on the dominant and recessive models, HOM1/HET/HOM2 genotype distribution, and significance of deviations from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (HWE p-value). Assessment was performed in the experimental (n = 340), control (n = 373), and combined (n =713) groups
