Relationship Between the VEGF Gene Polymorphism and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors — 27/MN/2018  

Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Clinical Trial

Official title: Relationship Between the VEGF Gene Polymorphism and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in People With Excessive Body Weight in the Polish Population

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study is to determine the relationship between VEGF gene expression, VEGF gene polymorphism and serum leptin concentration in the Polish population in people with excessive body weight. In addition, the aim of the study is to look for relationships between the VEGF gene polymorphism and anthropometric and biochemical factors of cardiovascular risk and endothelial dysfunction such as body weight, waist circumference, serum total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, glucose and the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases in the family of a patient with excessive body weight in the Polish population.

Clinical Trial Description

400 people (250 - study group; 150 control group) were subjected to subjective and objective action. Information on the occurrence of diseases and cardiovascular risk in the participant and his family was collected from research studies. Anthropometric parameters were measured (body weight, height, BMI, waist circumference, neck circumference) as well as blood pressure and pulse measurement. In addition, fasting venous blood was collected and secured. In venous blood currently marked with the following concentration: glucose, required cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides. In addition, a method of salting out and protecting DNA was developed from blood.

Furthermore the polymorphisms of VEGF genes (in positions: -2578 and -634) using the HMR (High Resolution Melt) method was determined.

Also VEGF and leptin by ELISA was determined. After obtaining the results of comparative analysis of the correlation between the occurrence of VEGF gene polymorphisms, serum levels of leptin and VEGF, and anthropometric and biochemical parameters of cardiovascular risk. ;
