ASSOCIATION OF THE GENE CYP11B2 WITH THE RISK OF ESSENTIAL HYPERTENSION AND ATHEROTHROMBOTIC COMPLICATIONS

Abstract

Genetics of arterial hypertension is broadly discussed as of one of multifactorial diseases. Invention of an algoritm for risk stratification based upon genetic parameters, gives chance to select groups of higher essential hypertension (EH) risk with the aim of primary prevention. One of such prototypes was assessed, that inculdes 11 genetic markers, in 30 patients with known clinical parameters; 19 of those were with EH and 11 normotonics. Individual impact is assessed of each marker and comparison done for total risk in patients. As a result, there were no differences found in individual risk for patients with and without EH by 11 markers, between subgroups. There was protective effect found for the allele С rs1799998 of gene CYP11B2 (OR 0,247; CI=[0,081-0,754], p=0,01).
