Polymorphism of Immune Response Genes as a Factor for Predisposition to Development of Diseases.

The association of particular allelic variants of genes coding proteins, such as transporter associated with processing (TAP) and heat shock protein (HSP), involved in endocellular processing of endogenous antigens, with synovium pathology accompanied with urogenital infection was observed. The particular alleles of TAP1 and TAP2 genes appeared to be the factor of predisposition or resistance for Chlamidia trachomatis but not for Mycoplasma hominis. At the same time, the relative risk for C.
