Abstract

Objective. To determine the predictive value of the genetic polymorphism of the N-arylacetyltransferase-2 (NAT-2) gene for assessing the risk of postoperative adhesive intestinal obstruction in children. Methods. In all children (36 children with adhesive intestinal obstruction (main group) and 35 planned patients (comparative group)) the acetylation genotype was studied by detecting point mutations of the NAT-2 gene using allele-specific amplification method with analysis of apolymerase chain reaction-restrictionfragmentlengthpolymorphism. Results. The study of the frequency of mutations at position 481 revealed the greatest diversity of the studied variants of genotypes: 33.3% of the children of the main group were homozygous for the wild-type gene, 44.4% were heterozygotes, 22.2% of patients had a homozygous mutant gene. According to the NAT-2 * 6A genotype (G 590 - A), the majority of patients (55.6%) were heterozygotes, 44.4% were homozygotes with the wild-type of the gene. Not a single case of mutation at position 857 has been identified. Among the children of the main group, the share of «fast» acetylators was 69.4%, in the comparison group - 40.0% (χ<sup>2</sup>=6.215; p=0.013). The development of postoperative adhesive intestinal obstruction in children with the “fast” acetylation genotype occurred in the absence of clinical and anamnestic risk factors and was characterized by a greater severity and prevalence of intra-abdominal adhesive process (PAI was (14.8±1.8) and (8.1±2.4 ), respectively). Conclusion. The risk of developing postoperative adhesive complications in children can be done preventively by determining the genetic polymorphism of the N-acetyltransferase-2 gene. The risk group for developing adhesive intestinal obstruction is made up of children who are the carriers of NAT-2 alleles and correspond to the genotype of «fast» and «moderate» acetylation. Children who are «fast» acetylators have a more pronounced intra-abdominal adhesion process and a higher risk of complications associated with excessive adhesion even in the absence of other risk factors. What this paper adds N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) gene polymorphism as a prognostic risk factor for the development of adhesive intestinal obstruction in children has been studied. Children as the carriers of the «fast» acetylator genotype have a higher risk of developing intra-abdominal adhesions and therefore require more comprehensive preventive measures at all stages of possible influence.
