Genetic screening of PLA1/PLA2 polymorphous marker of integrin beta 3 (ITGB3) GP IIIA gene in adolescent girls with puberty menorrhagia.

Puberty menorrhagia is one of the urgent problems of modern reproductive medicine. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between polymorphism of the GP IIIa (PLA1/PLA2) gene and improve the diagnosis of puberty menorrhagia in girls with thyroid gland pathology. Ninety-seven girls at puberty age were divided into three groups: group 1 (main) - girls with puberty menorrhagia and thyroid gland pathology (30 individuals), group 2 (comparison) - 40 girls with puberty menorrhagia, group 3 (control) - 27 practically healthy girls. Polymorphism of the GP IIIa (PLA1/PLA2) gene was studied by isolating genomic DNA from peripheral blood leukocytes, followed by amplification with a polymerase chain reaction. Results showed that mutation in the 17th chromosome of q21.32 of the GP IIIa gene occurred in 8.6% of cases among adolescents with menorrhagia, in contrast to the control group, where it was not observed at all. The A1A1-genotype occurred by 11.7% (X2=4.01, p=0.041) more often in adolescents with menorrhagia than in girls with concomitant thyroid gland pathology and by 15.0% (X2=4.54, p=0.033) more often than in the control group. It was also found that the presence of the A1A2-genotype unreliably reduced the chances of uterine bleeding in adolescent girls by 1.45 times (OR=2.12) and was a protective factor in the puberty menorrhagia occurrence (OR=0.47). It may be concluded that the identification of a hereditary factor of the reproductive system diseases of adolescent girls fundamentally changes the point of view on the tactics of disease management and subsequent therapy.
