Risk Effects of rs1799945 Polymorphism of the HFE Gene and Intergenic Interactions of GWAS-Significant Loci for Arterial Hypertension in the Caucasian Population of Central Russia.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this case-control replicative study was to investigate the link between GWAS-impact for arterial hypertension (AH) and/or blood pressure (BP) gene polymorphisms and AH risk in Russian subjects (Caucasian population of Central Russia). AH (n = 939) and control (n = 466) cohorts were examined for ten GWAS AH/BP risk loci. The genotypes/alleles of these SNP and their combinations (SNP-SNP interactions) were tested for their association with the AH development using a logistic regression statistical procedure. The genotype GG of the SNP rs1799945 (C/G) HFE was strongly linked with an increased AH risk (ORrecGG = 2.53; 95%CIrecGG1.03-6.23; ppermGG = 0.045). The seven SNPs such as rs1173771 (G/A) AC026703.1, rs1799945 (C/G) HFE, rs805303 (G/A) BAG6, rs932764 (A/G)
