Aim:
to study an association between T455C apolipoprotein C-III (apo C-III) gene polymorphism, insulin resistance (IR), metabolic syndrome (MS) and its components in a Kyrgyz ethnic group.
Material And Methods:
259 persons: 162 patients with MS and 97 sex and age matched controls without MS, diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases were included in the study. Clinical examination with arterial blood pressure, anthropometric data measurement and laboratory tests for blood glucose and lipid parameters were performed in all included persons. In 140 patients test for immunoreactive serum insulin was done. DNA was extracted from blood cells and T455C polymorphism.
