These are multifactorial diseases, the pathogenesis of which is intertwined and mutually aggravate their courses. There are both external and internal reasons of forming the stones in the biliary tract. Genetic factors play a significant role in the internal causes of cholelithiasis. The genetic characteristics of the patient allow to work out a personalized approach. It increases the success of drug therapy. MS is one of the main predisposing factors for the development of cholelithiasis. It also leads to more severe course of the latter. The pathogenetic mechanisms of the patologies developments are considered in the article presented with the special attention paid to the genetic component of cholelithiasis.
