RESUMO
Life span depends on many factors, including the level of reactive oxygen species, like superoxide radical. Superoxide radical is produced from oxygen in the course of the oxidation of NADPH to NADP+. The process is catalyzed by NADPH oxidase. In this study, genotype and allele distributions of the C242T polymorphism in the CYBA gene, which encodes the alpha subunit ofNADPH oxidase (p22phox), were examined in the sample of long livers and in the population sample of the city of Tomsk. Statistically significantly higher frequency of T allele among female long livers (34.62%), compared to the females from Russian population (26.32%) was demonstrated (chi2 = 5.226; p = 0.022; OR = 1.48). Thus, the T allele is associated with a high life expectancy in females from the Russian population. No such association was observed for males from the same population.

In this study we genotyped polymorphism in GPX1 Pro198Leu (C > T) rs 1050450 in four groups: patients with coronary artery disease, long-livers - above 90 years, early died peoples (before 55 years) from cardiovascular diseases and Russian population as control group. We have found significant higher allele T frequency in men with coronary artery disease -34.84% (Chi2 = 5.228, p = 0.022; OR = 1.46) and in early died men from cardiovascular diseases--38.16% (Chi2 = 6.461, p = 0.011; OR = 1.69) compared with control men--26.8%. Moreover, significantly higher genotype TT frequency has been shown in patients with coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction before age 50--19.44% in comparison with control group--7.28% (Chi2 = 9.55, p = 0.002). The TT frequency in long-livers (4.39%) was the lowest and significantly different from coronary artery disease group--12.79% (Chi2 = 8.07, p = 0.0045) and from coronary artery disease subgroup with myocardial infarction before 50--19.44% (Chi2 = 14.49, p = 0.0001). Thus our results indicate that allele T (Leu) of GPX1 Pro198Leu (C > T) polymorphism is unfavorable for successful ageing. It predisposes to coronary heart disease, earlier myocardial infarction (before age 50) and earlier death (before age 55).

Study is devoted to "genes for mitochondria"--genes of mitochondrial genome and mitochondrial DNA polymerase gamma gene (POLG1). We compared frequencies of polymorphisms in mitochondrial DNA and in POLG1 between healthy individuals and patients with arterial hypertension, as well as between patients with and without left ventricular hypertrophy. We did not discover significant differences of distribution of C allele of MspI-polymorphism in POLG1 in studied group. We have shown higher prevalence of mitochondrial haplogroup H of mtDNA in patients without left ventricle hypertrophy (OR = 0.42; 95% CI 0.17-0.98; p = 0.043), while compared with patients having this complication. Haplogroup T was more frequently detected in patients with left ventricle hypertrophy (OR = 6.16; 95% CI 1.17-9.74; p = 0.018). This result suggest implication of mitochondrial DNA in hypertension-induced left venticular hypertrophy.
