ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was the search of association of polymorphic markers T(-365)C of POLG1 gene, G(-25)A of ANT1 gene and G(-605)T of PEO1 gene with diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients. All patients were ethnic Russians from Moscow, with a T1DM record of no more than 5 years and DPN or a T1DM record of more than 10 years but without DPN. We have found that polymorphic marker T(-365)C of POLG1 gene was associated with DPN in Russian patients with T1DM. The carriers of C allele and CC genotype had higher risk of DPN development (OR = 1.62; CI = 1.11-238; and OR = 1.76; CI = 0.99-3.13; relatively). On the contrary, the carriage of T allele and TT genotype were associated with the lower risk of DPN development (OR = 0.62, CI = 0.42-0.90; and OR = 0.61; CI = 035-1.07; relatively). We have not found any association of polymorphic markers G(-25)A of ANT1 gene and G(-605)T of PEO1 gene with DPN in Russian patients with T1DM living in Moscow.

The C825T polymorphism in the gene encoding the G protein beta 3 subunit (GNB3) causes enhanced G protein activation and the increased in vitro cell proliferation. We investigated the association of gene GNB3 C825T polymorphism with coronary artery disease (CAD) in the Russian population. A total of 313 patients with CAD diagnosed on the basis of clinical studies and coronary angyography were examined. The control group included 132 individuals that lacked clinical CAD symptoms and had matching profile of coronary artery disease risk factors. Blood pressure was measured using standard protocols. Increased levels of diastolic and systolic pressure was observed in both groups. The allele and genotype frequencies of this polimorphic marker were significantly higher in the CAD patients than in control. We found that the frequency of allele C and gen-. otype CC was significantly higher in the CAD patients (OR = 1.55; P = 0.0079; OR = 1.63; P = 0.0215, respectively), which suggests higher risk of this pathology in carriers of allele C and genotype CC. Thus, in the Russian population coronary artery disease is associated with GNB3 allele C and genotype CC.

The aim of this study was the search of association of polymorphous markers Pro72Arg and C(-594)CC of TP53 gene with diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus with or without clinical signs of DPN. We have found that polymorphous marker Pro72Arg of TP53 gene was associated with DPN in Russian patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus living in Moscow. The carriers of Arg allele and Arg/Arg genotype had higher risk of DPN development (OR = 1.96; CI = 1.32-2.90; and OR = 2.14; CI = 1.23-3.73; relatively). On the contrary, the carriage of Pro allele was associated with the lower risk of DPN development (OR = 0.51; CI = 0.34-0.76). We have not found any association of polymorphous marker C(-594)CC of TP53 gene with DPN in Russian patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus living in Moscow.
