Peculiaritie of Distribution of Polymorphic Variants of IL1Β Gene in Patients with Atherosclerosis and Metabolic Syndrome

Conclusion: The risk of development of AS in the background of MS is increased in carriers of combinations of SNPs (-31)TT/(+3953)CT IL1В gene responsible for hyperproduction of this cytokine. In this connection, further studies of the association of genes with MS and AS components should focus on intergenic interactions.
