Abstract

The increasing frequency of chronic diseases today; while it causes situations such as decreased quality of life and premature death in patients, it also causes an increase in the burden on the health system and society. In the study of Heart Disease and Risk Factors in Turkish Adults (TEKHARF), which has been going on since 1990; it has been revealed that coronary heart disease is 6 % in the 45-54 age group, 17 % in the 55-64 age group, and 28 % in the individuals aged 65 and over. Considering the age range of 45-74 years, the prevalance of coronary mortality was found to be 7.3 per thousand in men and 3.8 per thousand in women during 24 follow-up years. According to the data of the Turkish Statistical Institute, among the causes of death in 2019, circulatory system diseases ranked first with 36.8 %, tumors came in the second place with 18.4 %, and respiratory system diseases came in the third place with 12.9 %. 39.1 % of deaths due to circulatory system diseases are caused by ischemic heart disease, 22.2 % by cerebrovascular diseases, and 25.7 % by other heart diseases.
Based on these data, when the relationship of the EPHX2 gene with cardiovascular diseases, cancer, cerebrovascular diseases and other diseases is considered, studies on this gene will shed light on the mechanisms of the previously mentioned diseases, deaths and disability due to themlt is predicted that the cost of treatment may also decrease. From this point of view, it is aimed to provide a review to the literatüre by screening the EPHX2 gene and the diseases associated with this gene.

Çözünür Epoksit Hidrolaz Geni ve Bu Genle İlgili Hastalıkların Derlenmesi

Abstract

Günümüzde kronik hastalıkların sıklığının artması; hastada yaşam kalitesinin düşmesi, erken ölümlerin görülmesi gibi durumlara sebep olurken aynı zamanda sağlık sistemi ve topluma olan yükün artmasına yol açmaktadır. Bin dokuz yüz doksan yılından beri devam eden, Türk Erişkinlerindeki Kalp Hastalığı ve Risk Faktörleri (TEKHARF) çalışmasında; koroner kalp hastalığının 45-54 yaş grubunda %6, 55-64 yaş grubunda %17 ve 65 yaş ve üzerindeki bireylerde %28 oranında olduğu ortaya konulmuş olup, 45-74 yaş aralığı ele alındığında, 24 takip yılı boyunca koroner mortalite prevalanslarının erkeklerde binde 7.3 ve kadınlarda binde 3.8 düzeyinde olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu verilerine göre 2019 yılında ölüm nedenleri arasında, %36.8 ile dolaşım sistemi hastalıkları ilk sırada yer alırken, ikinci sırada %18.4 ile tümörler, üçüncü sırada %12.9 ile solunum sistemi hastalıkları gelmektedir. Dolaşım sistemi hastalıkları kaynaklı ölümlerin %39.1’ini iskemik kalp hastalığı, %22.2’sini serebrovasküler hastalıklar, %25.7’sini diğer kalp hastalıkları oluşturmaktadır. Bu veriler ışığında, çözünebilir epoksit hidrolaz (EPHX2) geninin kardiyovasküler hastalıklar, kanser, serebrovasküler hastalıklar ve diğer hastalıklar ile olan ilişkisi düşünüldüğünde bu gen üzerinde yapılan çalışmaların, daha önce sayılan hastalıkların mekanizmalarına ışık tutacağına, onlara bağlı ölümlerin, sakat kalmaların azalabileceği aynı zamanda tedavi maliyetlerinin de düşebileceği öngörülmektedir. Buradan yola çıkarak EPHX2 geni ve bu genle ilişkilendirilen hastalıklar taranarak literatüre bir derleme kazandırılması amaçlanmıştır.
