[Age and sexual changes structure of genes cytokines networks in Russian population]
Objective:
To study frequencies of occurrence of the combined genetic attributes including different variants of cytokines genotypes (TNFA, IL1B, IL4, IL6, IL10, VEGF), in different on sexual and age groups in population of Siberia Caucasoid.
Material And Methods:
Frequencies of distribution of variants of structure genes cytokines networks among 500 representatives of Siberia Caucasian population, men and women of two age groups--more younger than 35 years ("young") and 55 and more years ("elderly") are investigated. In structure of investigated genes cytokines net has come 10 variants of polymorphic sites of cytokines genes and vascular endothelial growth factor gene: TNFA-863 C --> A, TNFA-308 G --> A, TNFA-238 G --> A, IL1B-31 C --> T, IL4-590 C --> T, IL6-174 G --> C, IL10-1082 G --> A, IL10-592 A --> C, VEGF-2578 C --> A and VEGF+936 C --> T. Genotyping are carried out by restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Processing of results carried out on the basis of the original methodological approach including the complex connected computer analysis of genic circuits of various dimension.
Results And Conclusions:
It is shown, that the significant part of variants genes cytokines networks, which widely distributed among young people is completely absent in the "elderly" age group. Such variants disappearing with age separately for men and women are established. At the program mathematical analysis it is established, that parameters of the odds ratio achieve two-place sizes (OR = 27, p = 0,0004), that testifies to high specificity of complex genetic attributes. Presence in genome such variants of genes cytokines networks, found out in the childhood or young age, as supposed, is unfavorable personalized prognostic factors of life span of the individual.
