Objective. The objective is to analyze molecular and genetic mechanisms of endothelial dysfunction development in children with allergic enteropathy. Methods: We have studied the polymorphisms of endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene and the level of nitric oxide metabolites in coprofiltrates in 43 children aged from 6 months to 3 years with allergic enteropathy. Results: The endothelial dysfunction in allergic enteropathy is associated with nitric oxide molecule. Carriage of the homozygous allele СС Т 786 С of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene raises the risk of IgE-independent food allergy development by 8.8 times. Conclusions: The conducted study evidences the active participation of nitric-oxidergic mechanism in allergic inflammation development.
