Abstract
Physicians often lack knowledge in the field of genetic mutations in genes of cholesterol (Ch) transporters, which influence the strategy of pharmacological treatment of many patients. With the aim of estimation modern points of view on the role of mutations in genes of Ch transporters, namely, Niemann — Pick protein (NPP) and ABCG5/G8, in the development of cardiovascular and hepatobiliary disorders we made a search in Pubmed database. It was revealed that almost a half of cases of ischemic heart disease (IHD) is characterized by genetic anomalies, firstly, in locuses of Ch transporters — NPC1L1, ABCG5/G8, and also PCSK9, APOB, KCNK5, LPL, HMGCR, CETP, TRIB1, ABO, PMAIP1-MC4R and LDLR, each of which has multiple nucleotid polymorphisms. The latter fact challenges its usage in practice. Genetically determined higher levels of liver Х-receptor and farnesoid Х-receptor in peripheral mononuclears together with decreased amount of duodenal NPP lead to liver steatosis, whereas other genetic changes of Ch transporters are associated with more significant viral injury of liver in case of hepatitis. Mutations of genes of both Ch transporters (NPC1L1 and ABCG8) are significantly associated with cholestasis and cholelithiasis. Conclusions. Disorders of heart (IHD, arterial hypertension, cardiomyopathies), liver (steatosis) and gallbladder (cholesterosis, polips, cholelithiasis) develop with a huge amount of genetically determined changes of Ch-transporting proteins, namely, activation/inhibition of NPP and ATP-binding transporters ABCG5/G8. Understanding of genetic background of diseases is important for prevention, prognosis and treatment of cardiovascular and hepatobiliary pathological conditions, which are tightly connected.
