Aspectos genéticos da SAOS

Abstract: A fisiopatologia da SAOS é resultante da interação entre fatores genéticos e ambientais. Os mais importantes fatores de risco são obesidade e idade. Outros fatores relevantes são anormalidades craniofaciais, hipotireoidismo, menopausa e uso de álcool e de sedativos. A hereditariedade tem sido relacionada a SAOS pela a associação de SAOS a níveis de HLA, obesidade, síndromes genéticas, etnias, sonolência excessiva, alteração do controle ventilatório, expressão de mediadores inflamatórios, entre outros.

“…The current paradigm was built as a product of intermediate phenotypes such as the craniofacial morphology, obesity, susceptibility to daytime sleepiness, ventilatory control, and upper airway control, which mutually interact and defines OSAS. However, it is not known which component of this product has a central role, and which appears as epiphenomena [57].…”
