ALA16VAL POLYMORPHISM OF SUPEROXIDEDISMUTASE 2 (SOD2) GENE IN CAUCASOID TEENAGERS WITH HYPERTENSION, LIVING IN THE EASTERN SIBERIA

Abstract

The article presents the analysis of distribution of alleles and genotypes of AIa16VaI polymorphism (rs4880) of superoxidedismutase 2 (SOD2) gene in Caucasoid teenagers with hypertension (n = 102) and in Caucasoid popuIation sampIing (n = 65), Iiving in the Eastern Siberia. Frequencies of aIIeIes in popuIation sampIing were AIa = 0,492 and VaI = 0,508, of genotypes - AIa/AIa = 0,277; AIa/VaI = 0,431 and VaI/VaI = 0,292. In the group of teenagers with arteriaI hypertension the frequency of aIIeIes was AIa = 0,495 and VaI = 0,505, of genotypes - AIa/AIa = 0,245; AIa/VaI = 0,500 and VaI/VaI = 0,255. There were no significant differences found at the comparison the data.
