Experimental verification in vitro using the method of electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) showed the correspondence of prognosis and experimental data. The obtained estimates of the effect of TATA box SNP markers on the formation of TBP/TATA complexes make it possible to consider some SNP markers of erythroid genes as markers of cognitive disorders.
