Atherosclerosis, the main factor in the development of coronary heart diseases (CHD), is an inflammatory response to endothelial layer damage in the arterial bed. We have analyzed the association between CHD and the polymorphic markers of genes that control the synthesis of proteins involved in the processes of adhesion and chemotaxis of immunocompetent cells: rs1024611 (-2518A>G, CCL2 gene), rs1799864 (V64I, CCR2 gene), rs3732378 (T280M, CX3CR1 gene), rs1136743 (A70V, SAA1 gene), and rs1205 (2042C>T, CRP gene) in 217 patients with CHD and 250 controls. Using the Monte Carlo method and Markov chains (APSampler), we revealed a combination of alleles/genotypes associated with both a reduced and increased risk of CHD. The most significant alleles/genotypes areSAA1*T/T+CRP*C+CX3CR1*G/A (P perm = 0.0056, OR = 0.07 95%CI 0.009-0.55), SAA1*T+CRP*T+CCR2*G/A+CX3CR1*G (P perm = 0.0063, OR = 14.58 95%CI 1.88-113.04), SAA1*T+CCR2*A+CCL2* G/G (P perm = 0.0351, OR = 10.77 95%CI 1.35-85.74).
