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.
