В исследование были включены 57 больных с хронической ишемической болезнью сердца, стабильной стенокардией (ХИБС) и семейной гетерозиготной гиперхолестеринемией (ГеСГ, I группа). Группу сравнения составили 144 пациента с ХИБС без ГеСГ, разделённые на подгруппу А (n=63) - пациенты, не принимавшие статины, и В - принимавшие их на амбулаторном этапе (n=81), группу контроля составили 17 здоровых лиц. Уровень пропротеиновой конвертазы субтилизин-кексинового типа 9 (PCSK9) определяли методом иммуноферментного анализа с использованием реактивов «Human Proprotein Convertase 9/ PCSK9 ELISA Kit» (MULTI SCIENCE, China). Генотипирование полиморфизма E670G (rs505151) PCSK9 проводили с использованием ПЦР-метода.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Сравнение результатов дуплексного сканирования сонных артерий у больных ГеСГ, показало, что толщина комплекса интима-медиа сонных артерий (ТКИМ) слева (1.14±0.18, Р&lt;0,01) и справа (1.15±0.16, Р&lt;0,01) была выше, чем в группе сравнения, 1.05±0.17 и 1.04±0.18, соответственно. В результате проведенных исследований выявлена положительная корреляционная связь между частотой развития ИМ в анамнезе у больных ГеСГ и ТКИМ сонных артерий (г=0,38, Р&lt;0,05). Последняя также коррелировала с повышением концентрации PCSK-9 (г=0,31, Р&lt;0,05) в крови и носительством аллеля G полиморфизма E670G (г=0,39, Р&lt;0,05) гена РСЭК-9.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. У больных гетерозиготной семейной гиперхолестеринемией в узбекской популяции установлена прямая корреляционная связь между инфарктом миокарда в анамнезе, толщиной комплекса интима-медиа сонных артерий, повышением концентрации PCSK-9 в крови и носительством аллеля G полиморфизма E670G гена PCSK-9, что позволяет использовать их в качестве прогностических маркеров риска развития сердечно-сосудистых осложнений.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Objective</title><p>Objective: to study the severity of carotid artery atherosclerosis in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia in the Uzbek population, depending on the level of PCSK-9 and the genetic polymorphism E670G of the PCSK-9 gene.</p></sec><sec><title>Material and methods</title><p>Material and methods. The study included 57 patients with chronic stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) and familial heterozygous hypercholesterolemia (HeFH, group I). The comparison group consisted of 144 patients with SCAD without HeFH divided into two subgroups: A - statin free before the research (n=63) and B (n=81) who took it as outpatients; control group consisted of 17 healthy people. The level of proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 (PCSK-9) was measured with Human Proprotein Convertase 9/PCSK9 ELISA Kit (MULTI SCIENCE, China). The genetic typing of PCSK9 E670G (rs505151) polymorphism was performed by means of the PCR-RFLP method.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. A comparison of the results of duplex scanning of carotid arteries in patients with HeFH showed that the carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) on the left (1.14±0.18 mm, P&lt;0.01) and on the right (1.15±0.16 mm, P&lt;0.01) was higher, than in the comparison group: 1.05±0.17 mm and 1.04±0.18 mm, respectively. The studies revealed a positive correlation between the incidence of Myocardial infarction (MI) in the history in patients with HeFH and the (r=0.38, P&lt;0.05). The CIMT also correlated with an increase in the concentration of PCSK9 (r = 0.31, P &lt;0.05) in the blood and the carriage of the G allele of polymorphism E670G (r = 0.39, P &lt;0.05) of the PCSK9 gene.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. Inpatientswithheterozygousfamilialhypercholesterolemia in the Uzbek population a direct correlation was established between Myocardial infarction in the history, the carotid intima-media thickness, an increase in the concentration of PCSK-9 in the blood and the carriage of the G allele of E670G polymorphism of the PCSK9 gene, that allows them to be used as prognostic markers for the risk of development of cardiovascular complications.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>гетерозиготная семейная гиперхолестеринемия</kwd><kwd>полиморфизм E670G гена PCSK-9</kwd><kwd>атеросклероз сонных артерий</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia</kwd><kwd>E670G polymorphism of PCSK-9 gene</kwd><kwd>carotid atherosclerosis</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">Santos RD, Miname MH.
