[Multilocus analysis of the association of polymorphic variants of inflammation genes with ischemic stroke in Russians]. Mol Biol (Mosk). 2016 Jul-Aug;50(4):674-684 Authors: Titov BV, Matveeva NA, Martynov MY, Favorova OO Abstract Carriage frequencies of alleles and genotypes of polymorphic loci of inflammation genes (49A>G CTLA4, 41G>A and 87C>T PDE4D, -590C>T IL4, -308A>G TNF, 252G>A LTA, 874A>T IFNG, -509С>Т, 869T>C and 915G>C TGFB1) were determined in a sample of 200 patients diagnosed with ischemic stroke and in the control group similar in gender and age (146 individuals), all ethnic Russians. The positive association of the allele PDE4D*87C (р = 0.028) and genotype TGFB1*-509Т/Т (р = 0.02) carriage with ischemic stroke was shown. The association of the disease with the carriage of the allele PDE4D*41А (р = 0.009) in individuals under the age of 60 and with carriage of the allele IFNG*874Т (р = 0.02) in individuals older than 60 was observed among the subgroups of patients stratified by age when they suffered the stroke compared to a control group of the same age. In subgroups stratified by gender, carriage of the genotype TGFB1*915G/G (р = 0.0015) was identified as a risk factor in male patients, while no significant differences between female patients and healthy women were observed. Multilocus analysis was undertaken to search for the association of several combinations of studied gen...
