Gene—Gene Interactions of Apolipoprotein Gene Polymorphic Variants in Adolescents with Essential Arterial Hypertension and Dyslipidemia

Abstract

Using MDR bioinformatic analysis we studied gene—gene interactions between apolipoprotein genes in adolescents with essential arterial hypertension and dyslipidemia against the background of essential arterial hypertension. Optimal models of gene—gene interactions were formed. The six-locus model was the most significant: (ApoA1(+83T), ApoA1(-75A), ApoB(Del), ApoC3(S2), ApoE(ε2), ApoE(ε4). The maximum synergism in both adolescent groups were shown for allele variants ApoA1(-75A), ApoB(Del), and ApoE(ε4). The maximum contribution to gene—gene interactions entropy was made by allelic polymorphisms ApoA1(-75A) and ApoE(ε4) and (in the comorbid pathology group) for ApoE(ε4)+ApoB(Del).
