[Frequency of allele polymorphism of immune proteasome catalytic subunits in patients with ischemic stroke].

Frequency of allelic variants of proteasome subunits genes LMP2 (Arg60 --> His) and PSMA6 were determined in patients with ischemic stroke using real-time PCR. Allelic variants of PSMA6 were disposed in the next manner: C/C - 80.2%, C/G - 19.8%, G/G--were not (in control) and C/C - 75.5%, C/G - 21.4%, G/G - 3.1% (P = 0.22) in patients with IS. It was shown that distribution of LMP2 allelic variants was the following: Arg/Arg - 53.3%, Arg/His - 43.5%, His/His - 6.7% in control and Arg/Arg - 55.9%, Arg/His - 34.3%, His/His - 9.8% in IS group (P > 0.05). The data show that LMP2 and PSMA6 gene polymorphism is not a risk factor of ischemic stroke in Ukrainian population.
