Genetic association study of prolylcarboxypeptidase polymorphisms with susceptibility to essential hypertension in the Yi minority of China: A case-control study based on an isolated population.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Prolylcarboxypeptidase (PRCP) is a negative regulator of the pressor actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. It is also involved in the kallikrein-kinin system. This gene has an important role in blood pressure (BP) regulation.

Methods

A case-control study was performed for 615 Yi participants (303 cases and 312 controls) from a remote mountainous area in Yunnan Province of China. For the PRCP gene, 11 tag single-nucleotide polymorphisms were genotyped using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method.

Results

The PRCP gene rs12290550 was associated with the occurrence of essential hypertension (EH) and BP traits. Logistic regression analysis indicated that the rs12290550 T allele was significantly linked to the risk of EH (odds ratio (OR) = 1.85, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.44-2.39, p = 0.2 × 10^-5). Under Bonferroni correction, the H7 TAGCACTAACA haplotype containing the risk allele rs12290550 T increased the risk of EH (OR = 4.53, 95% CI 2.29-8.93, p = 0.2×10^-5).

Conclusions

The findings of this study demonstrate the strong association of the PRCP gene with EH. rs12290550 may be a useful genetic predictor of EH in the Yi minority.

Project description:BackgroundCardiovascular benefits by reversing environmental risks factors for essential hypertension (EH) and dyslipidemia could be weaken by high genetic risk. We investigated possible associations between ACE2 polymorphisms and dyslipidemia in patients with EH.MethodsFour hundred and two hypertensive patients were enrolled in an EH group and 233 normotensive individuals were enrolled as control group from the Xinjiang region of China. Fourteen ACE2 polymorphisms were genotyped by Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry.ResultsParticipants carrying T allele (TT + CT) of rs2074192 (P = 0.006), rs4646155 (P = 0.030) and rs4646188 (P < 0.001), C allele (CT + CT or CC + CG) of rs4240157 (P = 0.012), rs4830542 (P = 0.020) and rs879922 (P < 0.001) and TT genotype of rs2106809 (P = 0.012) were associated with EH. Meanwhile,ACE2 SNPs also exhibited association with dyslipidemia but exhibited obvious heterogeneity. rs1978124 (TT + CT, P = 0.009), rs2106809 (TT, P = 0.045), rs233575 (CC + CT, P = 0.018), rs4646188 (CC, P = 0.011) and rs879922 (CC + CG, P = 0.003) were association with increased LDL-C (≥1.8 mmol/L). rs2106809 (CC + CT, P < 0.001), rs2285666(TT + CT, P = 0.017), rs4646142(CC + CG, P = 0.044), rs4646155(TT + CT, P < 0.001) and rs4646188(TT + CT, P = 0.033) were association with decreased HDL-C (< 1.0 mmol/L). rs2074192 (TT + CT, P = 0.012), rs4240157 (CC + CT, P = 0.027), rs4646156 (AA+AT, P = 0.007), rs4646188 (TT + CT, P = 0.005), rs4830542 (CC + CT, P = 0.047) and rs879922 (CC + CG, P = 0.001) were association with increased TC (≥5.2 mmol/L). rs2106809 (P = 0.034) and rs4646188 (P = 0.013) were associated with hypertriglyceridemia. Further, ischemic stroke was more prevalent with rs4240157 (CC + CT, P = 0.043), rs4646188 (CC + CT, P = 0.013) and rs4830542 (CC + CT, P = 0.037). In addition, rs2048683 and rs6632677 were not association with EH, dyslipidemia and ischemic stroke.ConclusionThe ACE2 rs4646188 variant may be a potential and optimal genetic susceptibility marker for EH, dyslipidemia and its related ischemic stroke.
