[Tissue plasminogen activator and plasminogen activator inhibitor gene polymorphisms: possible relation to atherosclerosis and its complications].
In the present review the dates about association of genetic variants of a plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) and tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) with ischemic heart disease and atherosclerosis of other localization are toted. The singularities of synthesis of PAI-1 and tPA, possible paths of regulation of their activity briefly surveyed. Known polymorphisms of PAI-1 gene and tPA gene, their localization, frequencies in different ethnic groups are circumscribed. In operation the genetic influence of polymorphisms of PAI-1 gene and tPA gene on synthesis and plasma concentration of PAI-1 and tPA, including under an operation of risk factors of atherosclerosis, and as possible clinical consequences of sectional violations is featured. In the review the possible role of polymorphisms of PAI-1 gene and tPA gene in a pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, association with hazard thrombotic complications for different diseases is considered. Many clinical examinations are circumscribed which have confirmed or not confirmed a possible connection of genetic markers with development and current of ischemic heart disease and other vascular diseases. We considered that there are no enough dates to one valued estimation of possible role of polymorphisms of PAI-1 and tPA genes in pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. It is necessary to get new genetic studies in groups of patient with high risk of ischemic heart disease and atherosclerosis.
