Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease characterized by airflow limitation. It is not completely reversible and shows progressive development. The pathogenesis of COPD is a multifactorial process including migration of the inflammatory cells to the lung. Chemokines are proteins mainly involved in the recruitment inflammatory cells. The aim of this study was to determine the association of CCL5 and CXCL10 gene variants and COPD susceptibility in the population of Republic of Belarus. The association between CXCL10 (rs4508917), CCL5 (rs2280788) and COPD were analyzed in 74 COPD patients and 70 control subjects. The distribution of CXCL10 genotypes did not vary between healthy and COPD patients (p = 0.25). The genotype and allele distributions of CCL5 were differed significantly in COPD patients and controls (p = 0.008 and p = 0,02 respectively, html5-dom-document-internal-entity2-967-end 2 test). The frequency of genotype C/G was higher in the control group than in COPD patients (18.9 % vs. 4.3 %). Heterozygous carrier state of CCL5 indicates 5,26-fold higher risk of COPD (95 %CI: 1.43-19.02). In conclusion the rs2280788 genotype variant of CCL5 contributes to the prediction of COPD and may be used for the choice of the effective disease prevention.
