Особенности полиморфизма фактора роста эндотелия сосудов совместно с матриксными металлопротеиназами и фактором некроза опухолей α могут влиять на развитие заболевания. Проведен анализ распределения частот генотипов регуляторных регионов генов VEGF (rs 699947, rs 3025039), ММР 2 (rs 2438650), ММР3 (rs 3025058), ММР 9 (rs 3918242), TNFα (rs1800630, rs1800629, rs 361525) и их комбинаций у пациентов с возрастной макулярной дегенерацией. Частоты генотипов TNFα (rs1800629) значимо различались между пациентами с макулярной дегенерацией и контрольной группой. При анализе комплексных генотипов выявлены шесть позитивно ассоциированных с развитием болезни комплексов VEGF-ММР генов. В состав пяти из них входит минорный гомозиготный генотип VEGF-2578АА. Совместный анализ полиморфизма генов VEGF – TNFα показал наличие как позитивных, так и негативных комплексных генотипов. Максимально значимый уровень различий установлен при сравнительном анализе частоты комплексных генотипов, включающих в свой состав 8 полиморфных участков регуляторных областей всех исследуемых генов. В большинстве генетических комплексов, ассоциированных с развитием заболевания, выявлено наличие гомозиготных генотипов TNFα-863СС, гомозиготных вариантов MMP2-1306 ТТ и MMP9-1562СС в сочетании в генотипе этих же пациентов гомозиготного генотипа VEGF+936СС. Можно предположить, что для пациентов с макулярной дегенерацией характерно наличие в геноме аллельных вариантов, предрасполагающих к развитию ангиогенеза, наряду с низким уровнем продукции провоспалительных регуляторных факторов и ферментов, участвующих в разрушении межклеточного матрикса. Использование комплексных генетических факторов, продукты которых принимают участие в патологическом процессе и одновременно являются регуляторами продукции в отношении друг друга, имеет большую информативность при выявлении протективных и резистентных маркеров развития заболевания, чем одиночные генетические маркеры и могут быть использованы при скрининговых исследованиях. </p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Age-related macular degeneration is one of the most widespread multifactorial eye diseases. Polymorphic functional alleles of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) combined with matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) gene and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) gene variants may influence the development of disease. We have performed frequency analysis of their polymorphisms in regulatory regions of VEGF (rs 699947, rs 3025039), ММР2 (rs 2438650), ММР3 (rs 3025058), ММР9 (rs 3918242), TNFα (rs1800630, rs1800629, rs 361525) genes, and their combinations in a group of patients with age-related macular degeneration (MD). Frequencies of TNFα (rs1800629) genotypes significantly differed for the MD patients and control group. Upon the combined genotype analysis, we have revealed six constellations of VEGF-ММР genes that were positively associated with the disease development. Five of them included minor homozygous genotype VEGF-2578АА. A combined analysis of VEGF – TNFα genes polymorphisms has shown presence of both positive and negative complex genotypes. The most significant differences have been detected by comparative analysis of the complex genotypes frequencies which included 8 polymorphic regulatory gene regions of all genes studied. In most genetic complexes associated with the disease development, homozygous TNFα-863СС, homozygous MMP2-1306 ТТ, and MMP9-1562СС genotypes have been detected, together with the combination of homozygous VEGFA+936СС genotype in the same patients. We can assume that harboring allelic variants, which may contribute to angiogenesis prorcesses is typical for the genome of patients with macular degeneration, along with low-level production of pro-inflammatory regulatory factors and enzymes participating in degradation of extracellular matrix. Analysis of complex genetic factors, procing some factors taking part at the pathological process being the regulators of production for each other, is more informative when detecting protective and resistant markers of the disease development rather than single genetic markers, thus being useful for genomic screening.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>возрастная макулярная дегенерация</kwd><kwd>полиморфизм TNF</kwd><kwd>полиморфизм VEGF</kwd><kwd>полиморфизм MMP</kwd><kwd>сетевой анализ</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>age-related macular degeneration</kwd><kwd>polymorphism TNF</kwd><kwd>VEGF polymorphism</kwd><kwd>ММР polymorphism</kwd><kwd>network analysis</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Бабич П.Н., Чубенко А.В., Лапач С.Н.
