| Sumario: | A search for associations between allelic variations of immune response genes, and mitral stenosis associated with rheumatic heart disease, represents an important task when studying the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disorders among inhabitants of large industrial regions in Western Siberia. Among multiple polymorphisms of interleukin-encoding genes, a particular attention should be paid to association studies of some intronic polymorphisms with variable numbers of tandem repeats (VNTR). In this respect, genotyping of interleukin 1 receptor antagonist genes (IL-1ra86bp VNTR) and interleukin 4 (IL-470bp VNTR) has shown positive associations between the intron 2 IL-1ra*3R/3R microsatellite polymorphism, intron 3 IL-4*2R/2R variant, and the risk of mitral stenosis development in patients with rheumatic heart disease (OR = 12.71; p = 0.0001). |
