Abstract

Aim. To analyze the association between tumor necrosis factor-alpha gene –308 G/A polymorphism and essential arterial hypertension (EAH).
Material and methods. The study included 354 EAH patients and 295 age-matched healthy subjects. DNA was extracted from venous blood. Genotyping was performed using polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction amplicon analysis.
Results. TNFA -308*G/*G genotype frequency was significantly lower among EAH patients with stroke than in control group (60,98% vs 78,98%; p=0,015). EAH patients with TNFA -308 *G/*G genotype had lower stroke risk (OR=0,38; 95% CI: 0,21-0,83).
Conclusion. The results obtained suggest that TNFA gene -308G/A polymorphism is involved in stroke pathogenesis among EAH patients.
