FUNCTIONAL ACTIVITY OF RIBOSOMAL GENES IN PATIENTS WITH PSEUDOEXFOLIATION SYNDROME
The functional activity of ribosomal genes (FARG) was studied in 88 patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) and in99 healthy subjects of control group. Total FARG of 10 chromosomes was higher in pseudoexfoliation group (р<0.05). It was provided mostly by increased FARG of chromosomes in group G (р<0.05). There was no difference in such indicators as functional activity of chromosomes in group D, number of active chromosomes, the number of associations of chromosomes, the number of chromosomes in associations among two groups. Statistically significant difference was found only among females. Increased FARG in patients with PEX can be regarded as hyperfunction of protein-synthesizing apparatus in such a disorder.
