[Genetic architecture of anterior abdominal wall hernias].

OBJECTIVE

To analyze genome-wide studies devoted to polymorphisms of factors of anterior abdominal wall hernias, to study the association of the most common polymorphism In Russian population.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Searching for literature data was carried out in the RSCI and PubMed databases. We enrolled national and foreign reports. The study on Russian population included 577 people.

RESULTS

We found 5 genome-wide studies performed by foreign authors. We identified the loci responsible for genetic predisposition to inguinal hernias: and . The Japanese scientists revealed an important role of loci . In other studies, loci 1q41 (), 2p16.1 (), 6p22.1 ( region), 7q33 () and 11p13 () determined different hernias. The gene polymorphism was among genes most associated with anterior abdominal wall hernias in all studies. Analysis of this polymorphism In Russian population revealed significant association with anterior abdominal wall hernias.

CONCLUSION

The obtained data on target correction of DNA chains can significantly reduce the incidence of anterior abdominal wall hernias. In turn, this will significantly reduce the cost of surgical treatment and risk of complications with recurrences of hernias. Moreover, identifying the most associated polymorphisms may be valuable to determine the most appropriate surgical treatment.
