Abstract
The aim: To study the association of the polymorphisms VDR gene with high blood pressure in stroke patients in the Ukrainian population. Materials and methods: Venous blood of 170 patients with atherothrombotic ischemic stroke (AIS) and 124 healthy individuals (control group) was used for genotyping. Four polymorphisms (FokI, BsmI, ApaI, TaqI) of gene VDR were examined with PCR-RFLP methodology. Statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS-17.0 program. Results: The correlation of genotypes of polymorphic variants of FokI, BsmI, ApaI and TaqI of the VDR gene with the development of ischemic atherothrombotic stroke in individuals with normal and high blood pressure was detected. Statistical analysis of the obtained data revealed that among carriers of genotypes F/F, b/b, a/a, a/A, and T/T patients with AI have statistically significantly higher incidence of hypertension than patients in the control group. Conclusions: It was found that persons with genotypes F/F, b/b, a/a, a/A, and T/T showed a statistically significant relationship between hypertension and the development of IAS. The application of logistic regression has made it possible to establish that the risk of IAS in people with normal blood pressure and genotype F/f is 3.2 times higher than in normotensive homozygotes for the F-allele.
