[The genes of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases].

The aim of the work was to study polymorphism of atherosclerosis-related genes in patients with different forms of coronary heart disease (CHD) and chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI) in comparison with long-living subjects. Analysis included the distribution of genotypes and alleles of functional polymorphisms of lipid metabolism genes, viz. HindIII--polymorphism of lipoproteinase (LPL) gene; HhaI--polymorphism of apoE gene; TaqIB--polymorphism of cholesterol ether transfer protein (CETP) gene; I/D--polymorphism of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) in CHD and CCI patients of different age groups including long livers and those presenting with different clinical variants of CHD and CCI (FC II-III stable angina of effort, acute myocardial infarction, post-infarction cardiosclerosis, acute coronary syndrome) and control subjects.

[The relation between gene of lipoprotein-lipase and carrier protein of cholesterol ethers and life duration in patients with chronic cerebral ischemia].

Comparative analysis of frequency distribution of genotypes and alleles of HindIII-polymorphism of gene LPL and TaqIB-polymorphism of gene CETP in 267 patients of various ages with chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI) was performed. Relation between age and polymorphous variants of genes LPL and CETP was noticed. It was shown that genotype of H+H+ HindIII-polymorphism of and genotype B1B1 TaqIB-polymorphism of gene CETP were found more frequently in more young patients with chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI).
