    Summary

    Genetic markers for dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP) differ between Russians and Georgians. Different HLA antigens are associated with DCMP predisposition and resistance in these populations.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunogenetics
    • Cardiology
    • Population Genetics

    Background:

    • Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP) is a complex cardiac condition with potential genetic underpinnings.
    • Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) genes play a crucial role in immune responses and have been implicated in various diseases.
    • Understanding population-specific genetic factors is vital for disease etiology and prevention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the association between HLA antigens (Grade I and II) and the predisposition to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP) in Russian and Georgian populations.
    • To identify genetic markers for resistance to DCMP in Georgians.
    • To explore HLA antigen associations with virus-induced myocarditis in Georgians and compare them with DCMP markers.

    Main Methods:

    • Tissue typing was performed on individuals diagnosed with DCMP and virus myocarditis, as well as healthy control groups.

  • Russian and Georgian populations were analyzed separately to identify population-specific genetic associations.
  • Relative risk (RR) was calculated to assess the strength of association between specific HLA antigens and disease susceptibility or resistance.

    • Main Results:

    • Distinct HLA antigen markers for DCMP predisposition were identified in Russians (DR4, A11) and Georgians (A11, B12).
    • The HLA antigen B35 was found to be a resistance marker for DCMP in Georgians (RR = 0.15).
    • HLA antigens A1 and B27 were associated with virus myocarditis predisposition in Georgians, differing from DCMP markers.

    Conclusions:

    • Genetic markers for DCMP predisposition and resistance vary significantly between Russian and Georgian populations.
    • The identified HLA antigen associations suggest different etiological factors for DCMP and virus myocarditis.
    • This study highlights the importance of considering population-specific genetic variations in the study of complex diseases like DCMP.
