Abstract
The distribution of the TLR2 Arg753Gln, TLR4 Asp299Gly and TLR4 Thr399Ile polymorphisms among residents of Poltavsky region was studied. The relationship between these polymorphisms and the presence of diseases caused by urogenital infections was also studied. The population control group was a random sample of residents of Poltavsky region (n = 299); the group of patients with urogenital diseases consisted of 156 individuals. PCR and subsequent restriction analysis were used to enable the genotyping of the following TLR polymorphisms in these groups: Arg753Gln, Asp299Gly, and TLR4 Thr399Ile. We found a statistically significant correlation between the presence of allele A of the TLR2 gene (p = 0.0018) and allele G of the TLR4 gene (p = 0.085) and the presence of urogenital diseases.
