Association of polymorphic markers rs243865 and rs3025058 with the development of arterial hypertension

Association of polymorphic markers rs243865 and rs3025058 with the development of arterial hypertension Essential hypertension is a multifactorial polygenic disease with a highest incidence in the world. The purpose of the study was to assess the relationship between gene polymorphisms MMP2-1586S>T (rs243865) and -1612 5A/6A MMP3 (rs3025058) with the development of arterial hypertension in population of the Central Chernozem region of Russi

Studying the gut virome in the metagenomic era:challenges and perspectives

The human gut harbors a complex ecosystem of microorganisms, including bacteria and viruses. With the rise of next-generation sequencing technologies, we have seen a quantum leap in the study of humangut-inhabiting bacteria, yet the viruses that infect these bacteria, known as bacteriophages, remain underexplored. In this review, we focus on what is known about the role of bacteriophages in human health and the technical challenges involved in studying the gut virome, of which they are a major component. Lastly, we discuss what can be learned from studies of bacteriophages in other ecosystems

Studying the Impact of the genetic polymorphisms of chemokines on the arterial pressure level and kidney function in patient with the chronic glomerulonephritis

It has been established that the genetic marker А I-TAC (rs 4512021) is the risk factor for genesis of the severe arterial hypertension at the chronic glomerulonephritis (OR=1,65) and the genotypes АА and AG I-TAC are the risk factors of depression of the kidney functio

Meteoprotective properties of melaxen in old and middle aged patients with ischemic heart disease in combination with arterial hypertension

We studied 102 patients (mean age 60.1±3.3 years) with arterial hypertension (AH) II-III stage, grade 2-3 and ischemic heart disease (exertional angina functional class (FC) I-II, postinfarction cardiosclerosis). The control group of patients received traditional therapy (TT): beta -blockers, calcium channel blockers, ACE inhibitors, antiplatelet agents, diuretics and nitrate

Influence mechanisms of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (spironolactone) among elderly patients with chronic heartfailure against ischemic disease

It was determined that a significant positive dynamics of TNF-synthesis suppression by 67.0% (p 0.0001) was established in the 4th group of patients taking combined therapy with the blocker of mineralocorticoid receptors with spironolacton

Identification of TUB as a novel candidate gene influencing body weight in humans

Previously, we identified a locus on 11p influencing obesity in families with type 2 diabetes. Based on mouse studies, we selected TUB as a functional candidate gene and performed association studies to determine whether this controls obesity. We analyzed the genotypes of 13 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) around TUB in 492 unrelated type 2 diabetic patients with known BMI values. One SNP (rs1528133) was found to have a significant effect on BMI (1.54 kg/m(2), P = 0.006). This association was confirmed in a population enriched for type 2 diabetes, using 750 individuals who were not selected for type 2 diabetes. Two SNPs in linkage disequilibrium with rs1528133 and mapping to the 3' end of TUB, rs2272382, and rs2272383 also affected BMI by 1.3 kg/m2 (P = 0.016 and P = 0.010, respectively). Combined analysis confirmed this association (P = 0.005 and P = 0.002, respectively). Moreover, comparing 349 obese subjects (BMI >30 kg/m(2)) from the combined cohort with 289 normal subjects (BMI <25 kg/m(2)) revealed that the protective alleles have a lower frequency in obese subjects (odds ratio 1.32 [95% CI 1.04-1.67], P = 0.022). Altogether, data from the tubby mouse as well as these data suggest that TUB could be an important factor in controlling the central regulation of body weight in humans
