title: [Polymorphism of the gene of angiotensin-converting enzyme and apolipoprotein E gene in long-livers of Novosibirsk city].
abstract: The levels of polymorphism of genes of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and apolipoprotein E (Apo E) were studied in elderly and long-living people in Novosibirsk. The results of the study in the investigated group (97 subjects) were compared with polymorphism of these genes in Novosibirsk population group aged 25-64 who were investigated in MONICA Project survey and had DNA data base formed. Frequency of D/D genotype among senile and long-living men was 5.9%. It is 5 times lower than in men 55-64 years of age (p = 0.04). Similar decrease of this gene frequency was also found in women of the same age. In men older than 83 years of age 4 times lowering of 3/4 genotype of Apo E gene and 2 times increasing of frequency of 2/3 genotype were revealed when comprising frequency of these genotypes in people of middle age. In subjects of senile age and long-livers of both sexes genotype 4/4 was not revealed. Lipid levels were more favorable in women with genotype 2/3 of Apo E gene (comparatively lower mean level of total cholesterol and higher level of HDL cholesterol) if compared with genotypes 3/3 and 3/4.
