Fecha de publicación: | 2000 | Publicación seriada: | Journal of Human Hypertension | Resumen: | Angiotensinogen (AGT) gene polymorphism has shown significant differences in the allelic frequencies between hypertensive and normotensive subjects. This allele frequency varies among ethnic groups. There are still some controversies related to the 235T-variant as a marker for essential hypertension. As part of an extensive case-control study carried out in a Spanish population, we selected the 237 subjects with a diagnosis of essential hypertension according to the established criteria. A group of 242 normotensives matched for age and gender was used as control. Smoking habits, a previous diabetes and hypertension medical history, body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure (BP) values were recorded. Glucose, plasma creatinine, lipid profile with Lp(a), homocysteine and microalbuminuria were measured. Angiotensinogen M235T-gene polymorphism was determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from genomic DNA. A(-6)G polymorphism was determined by mutagenically separated PCR (MS-PCR). BP values, BMI and microalbuminuria were significantly higher in hypertensive subjects; 31.6% of hypertensives and 40.1% normotensives were active smokers. M235T-genotype frequencies were not different in the hypertensive and normotensive population. Similarly, homocigotic AA predominate in the hypertensives but without statistical significance. The association of 235T-genotype or the changes in the promoter activity due to A(-6) substitution with essential hypertension was not confirmed in the multivariate regression analyses. Only a previous family history of hypertension and BMI were significantly associated with hypertension. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/48402 | ISSN: | 0950-9240 | DOI: | 10.1038/sj.jhh.1001110 | Fuente: | Journal Of Human Hypertension[ISSN 0950-9240],v. 14 (12), p. 789-793 (Diciembre 2000) |
