Molecular genetic analysis of the polymorphism of repair genes of double-strand breaks DNA strand breaks and repair «inconsistencies» DNA in workers of hazardous industries

Introduction. Presents results of a study of polymorphisms of repair genes of double-strand breaks DNA breaks: XRCC7 (rs7003908), ATM (rs664677), repair «inconsistencies» DNA MLH1 (rs1799977) in miners and workers of asbestos factories professionally due to broncho-pulmonary pathology.
T e aim of the study was to research the frequency distribution of genotypes of DNA repair genes: XRCC7 (rs7003908), ATM (rs664677) and MLH1 (rs1799977) in workers of harmful and dangerous industries to identify markers of increased risk of bronchopulmonary pathology.
Materials and methods. In 90 people with bronchopulmonary pathology and 124 respondents who worked in the same working conditions but had no history of diseases of the respiratory system, polymerase chain reaction in real time studied the polymorphism of DNA repair genes: XRCC7 (rs7003908), ATM (rs664677) and MLH1 (rs1799977).
Results. It was found that the genotypes ATM×T/T and MLH1×A/G are associated with the risk of bronchopulmonary pathology. Genotypes that contribute to resistance to the development of respiratory system pathology were also established: ATM×A/A, ATM× A/T and MLH1×A/A.
Conclusion. Genotypes associated with the risk of bronchopulmonary pathology were established: ATM×T/T (р≤0.01, χ2=6.61; OR=2.48; 95%CI: 1.16–5.31) and MLH1×A/G (p≤0.002, χ2=9.00; OR=2.32; 95%CI: 1.29–4.21). Also determined the genotypes that contribute to resistance to the development of diseases of the respiratory system: ATM×a/A (OR=0,83; 95%CI: 0,45–1,54), ATM×A/T (OR=0,67; 95% CI: 0,38–1,21) and MLH1× a/A (р≤0,003, χ2=8,73; OR=0,43; 95% CI: 0,24–0,79).
