Using the PCR-RFLP method we have studied polymorphism of 36 genes involved in lipid metabolism in 212 women, residents of the North-West Region of Russia (St. Petersburg), aged 18 to 77. We found an association of polymorphism in several candidate genes with body mass index, waist circumference, total cholesterol level, low density lipoprotein cholesterol level and very low density lipoprotein cholesterol level. We propose a logistic regression model for a primary assessment of these parameters in women based on corresponding genetic markers tests.
