Abstract:
Large multifunctional protease LMP2 (Arg60-->His), LMP7 (Lys145-->Gln) and PSMA6 (C(-8)-->G) gene allelic polymorphisms in 147 young patients with essential hypertension and in 208 practically healthy people were determinated. It was shown that interrelation of genotypes Arg/Arg, Arg/His and His/His in LMP2 gene polymorphisms account 42.5 %, 46.4% and 11.1% correspondingly (in control--63.9%, 28.6%, 7.5%; P = 0.001 by c2-test). Allelic variants of PSMA6 dispense the next manner: C/C--76.2%, C/G--21.1%, G/G--2.7% in adolescents with EH (in control--69.8%, 29.7% and 0.5% correspondingly, P = 0,047). Analysis of LMP7 gene polymorphism showed identical frequency of different genotypes in patients (Lys/Lys--92.4%, Lys/Gln--7.6%, Gln/Gln--0%) and practically healthy people (97.3%, 2.7%, 0% correspondingly; P = 0.16). Obtained data suggest the LMP2 and PSMA6 gene polymorphisms significance as the risk factors of essential hypertension in adolescents.

Lethal Alleles
Lucien Cuénot discovered lethal alleles in 1905 while studying the inheritance of coat color in mice. The agouti gene is responsible for the color of the coat in mice. This gene codes for an agouti-signaling protein, which is responsible for melanin distribution in mammals. The wild-type allele gives rise to gray-brown coat color in mice, while the mutant allele gives rise to yellow coat color. In addition to coat color, the agouti gene is associated with the yellow...
