Abstract

Our objective was to investigate the association between gene polymorphisms of folate cycle (MTHFR 677 C>T, MTHFR 1298 A>C, MTR 2756 A>G, and MTRR 66 A>G) and the risk of pulmonary embolism (PE) in a case-control study. 177 PE patients (87 women and 90 men) were compared to a healthy control group (461 people, 123 women, 326 men). All of them are residents of Novosibirsk region. SNPs were genotyped by allele-specific PCR. The age distributions of our male and female patients were found to be significantly different. For men, the distribution has two maxima, whereas for women it has only one maximum, which is between the two. This fact stimulated us to perform a sex-specific analysis. No statistically significant difference has been found between distributions of the three genes in our PE patients and healthy controls. However, it was discovered that the TT genotype of MTHFR: 677 C>T polymorphism in men increases the risk of PE in comparison to controls. In fact, the difference increases in the age group over 45years. Also, AA genotype of MTRR 66 A>G polymorphism in women below 45years decreases the risk of PE. The sex-specific multiple linear regression analysis gave us estimates of the relative PE risk associated with MTHFR 67...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
