The rs966221 PDE4D gene’s polymorphism was studied in 123 chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients and 242 controls. The lower frequency of CC genotype was revealed in ionizing radiation (IR) non-exposed CLL patients (26%; ð=0.041) comparing with IR-exposed CLL patients (43.4%) and controls (38.4%; p=0.06). The association of CC genotype with unmutated variable heavy chain genes (UM IGHV) and lower frequency of UM IGHV1 gene family in IR-exposed CLL patients was found. The assumption about some peculiarities of leukemic CLL clone formation in carriers of different rs966221 genotypes under IR influence was proposed.
Key words: Chornobyl NPP accident, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, ionizing radiation, rs966221 PDE4D gene’s polymorphism.
