Abstract:
In 167 men with vibration syndrome (VS), allele and genotype frequencies of HSPA1B (+1267A>G) genetic polymorphism (rs1061581) were studied depending on the type of vibration exposure and on the presence or absence of metabolic syndrome (MetS). The examined subjects were divided into two groups: VS patients (n=80) and VS+MetS patients (n=87). The differences in the lipid profiles between groups were revealed against the background of the lack of distinctions in the age of patients for A/G and G/G genotypes carriers. An increase in A/A (p=0.03) and a decrease in A/G (p=0.04) genotype frequencies in VS patients caused by hand-transmitted vibration in comparison with those in whom the disease was caused by a combination of hand-transmitted and whole-body vibration were found. The shifts in the frequencies of the above genotypes (p=0.01) were similar in patients with both types of vibration exposure in the VS+MetS group in comparison with VS group; the carriage of genotypes with the G allele in VS group exceeded that in VS+MetS group (p=0.01).
