title: [Genotypic and phenotypic markers in patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis].
abstract: The study included examination of 120 patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis (COB) and 70 healthy people. The following genotypic and phenotypic markers were evaluated: blood group, Rhesus factor, earwax type, constitution, height, iris color, hair color, signs of functional asymmetry and some minimal signs of embryogenesis disturbances. The relative risk of the disease development was counted for each parameter. The study found the highest COB morbidity in short normosthenics people with short neck, wet earwax type, nasal septum deviation and B (III) blood group. Such markers as light brown hair and dry earwax type were shown to be associated with COB-protective activity. The signs discussed in the article may be used to determine predisposition to COB.
