Unlabelled: CIDE-A gene and the genes of LRP group play a key role in the regulation of the body weight and lipid metabolism in mammals. CIDE-A is defined as a potential human obesity gene and the LRP1 gene is associated with the development of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The aim of the study was to define the role of CIDE-A gene in patients with dyslipidemia and asymptomatic AAA.

The aim of the study was to define the role of CIDEA gene in patients with dyslipidemia and symptomatic limb ischemia.
Material And Methods: The study group contained 28 patients, including 17 men and 11 women.
