RESUMEN
In the present work we for the first time on the clinic-genetic material revealed genetic predictors of development of acute disturbance of brain circulation (ADBC) in families of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) namely polymorphism of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene. Genotype CC was significantly more often found among patients with AF and ADBC compared with controls (58.1 and 35.2%, respectively, p=0.02) as well as in relatives of probands compared with the control group (59.3 and 35.2%, respectively, p=0.008). With this in relatives with revealed paroxysmal AF and ADBC we also noted presence of CC genotype. Taking into consideration the relationship obtained between polymorphysms of MTHFR gene and AF it was possible to assume that polymorphic marker CC appeared to be a predictor of ADBC in these families.

We carried out examination of 103 probands with atrial fibrillation (AF) and 301 their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree relatives (main group). In addition we examined 82 probands without clinical electrocardiographic signs of heart disease and 163 their 1st and 2nd degree relatives (control group). We found accumulation of AF in families of probands with this pathology. Segregation analysis of idiopathic forms of AF allowed to reveal autosomal dominant type of inheritance of this pathology. Heterozygous variant of Ser49Gly of betai-adrenoreceptor gene can be considered as one of genetic predictors of development of how primary and secondary AF.
