Molecular and biochemical basis of disease The distribution of genotypes and allele frequencies were compared with the groups. No statistically significant differences were observed in allele distribution comparing NS and healthy groups (P>0,05) . The haplotypes of IL-10 and TGF-beta1 were compared in terms of their expressions and it was shown that the GCC GCC haplotypes of IL-10 had significantly decreased in the NS whereas there were no statisticaly significant differences in the haplotypes of TGF-beta1. The observed genotype counts were not deviated significantly from those expected according to the Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium (P>0,05) except for IL-10 -1082 A/G polymorphism (P=0,048) . We conclude that GCC GCC haplotypes of IL-10 gene polymorphisms (-1082 A/G, -819 T/C, -592 C/A) have been associated with NS in Turkish children . However, further studies with larger samples are needed to address the exact role of IL-10 in childhood NS . P06.204 The C677T/A1298C Genotypes of MTHFR gene and Neural tube Defects In Kazakhs Z. S. Makhmutova, G. S. Svyatova; The Scientific center of obstetric, gynecology and perinatology, Almaty, Kazakhstan. This study determined the frequencies of MTHFR genotypes for 30 NTD cases, 84 their mothers and 150 unrelated healthy Kazakh adults for controls . The frequencies of combined C677T/A1298C genotypes among NTD cases were: CCaa - 6,7%, CCac - 6,7%, CCcc - 6,7%, CTaa - 10%, CTac - 46,7%, CTcc - 10%, TTaa - 10%, TTac - 3,3% . The frequencies of MTHFR genotypes among controls were: CCaa - 27,3%, CCac - 22%, CCcc - 7,3%, CTaa - 29,3%, CTac - 12%, CTcc - 0,7% , TTaa - 1,3% . Thus, the frequencies of CTac, CTcc, TTaa, TTac genotypes were higher than the frequencies of this genotypes in a controls (p

ADHD linkage studies have not revealed consistent findings, suggesting alternative approaches to find genes involved in this disease. Endophenotypes, defined as heritable, continuously distributed traits that increase the risk for ADHD, may be more suitable for linkage analysis: Endophenotypes seem less genetically complex than clinical disease phenotypes . Moreover, they are often quantitative traits rather than dichotomous entities (like DSM diagnostic categories), hence the more powerful Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) linkage analysis may be applied . Genome-wide linkage analysis was performed in the Dutch subsample of the International Multi-centre ADHD Genetics (IMAGE) study encompassing 238 DSM-IV combined type ADHD probands and their 112 affected and 195 non-affected siblings . Ten neuropsychological measures (cognitive and motor measures) previously shown to be candidate ADHD endophenotypes were used as quantitative traits . In addition, an overall component score of neuropsychological functioning was used, on which all ten individual measures related . A total number of 5,407 autosomal SNPs were used to run a multipoint regression-based linkage analysis. Two genome-wide significant linkage peaks were found, one for Motor Timing on chromosome 2q21 .1 (LOD score: 3 .944) and one for Digit Span on 13q12 .11 (LOD score: 3.959). Eleven suggestive linkage peaks were found (LOD scores ≥ 2) on chromosomes 2p, 2q, 3p, 4q, 8q, 9p, 12p, 12q, 14q, 17q . The suggestive linkage signal of the component score at 2q14 .3 (LOD score: 2 .878) overlapped with the region linking to Motor Timing . In conclusion, our results suggest that neuropsychological candidate ADHD-endophenotypes may aid in the discovery of novel ADHD genes through linkage analysis P06.209 NFAtc4 gene polymorphism and aerobic performance in athletes D.

Sci., Moscow, Russian Federation, 2 St Petersburg Research Institute of Physical Culture, St Petersburg, Russian Federation. Nuclear factor of activated T cells C4 gene (NFATC4) encodes transcription factor which regulates cardiac and skeletal muscle metabolism . The aim of the study was to investigate allelic distribution of NFATC4 gene Gly160Ala polymorphism in endurance-oriented athletes (n=549) and controls (n=1057), and to find interrelation between genotypes and physiological parameters in rowers (n=90) . Genotyping was performed by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis . Physiological parameters were evaluated by PM 3 Rower Ergometer and MetaMax 3B Gas Analyzer. The frequency of NFATC4 Gly allele was significantly higher in athletes than in controls (51 .5% vs . 43 .7%; p
