Abstract:
The article deals with data on association of SNP rs1828591 of HHIP gene with COLD development under exposure to dust and chemical factors. SNP rs1800470 of TGFbeta1 gene is associated with occupational COLD under exposure to dust and did not show connection with COLD under exposure to chemical aerosols. No association was seen between SNP rs4129267 of IL-6R gene and SNP rs1051730 of CHRNA3 gene with occupational COLD under exposure to the studied factors. SNP rs1828591 of HHIP gene is associated with occupational COLD development under exposure to dust and chemical factors. Study of association of genotype and phenotypic features of COLD revealed the following trends: "dust" COLD patients with genotype AA SNP rs1800470 of TGFbeta1 gene show lower level of C-reactive protein and TNF-alpha, if compared with other genotypes.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Smoking is a primary risk factor for COPD, with over 80% of patients having a history of it. Patients typically experience progressive dyspnea or labored breathing, frequent coughing, and recurrent pulmonary infections. Many eventually succumb to respiratory failure, characterized by...
