In a genome scan for familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL), a locus contributing to systolic blood pressure (SBP) has been identified on chromosome 4, containing the a-adducin gene (ADD1). In previous studies, an association has been found between the alpha-adducin Gly460Trp polymorphism and salt-sensitive hypertension. In this study, we investigated the association between the a-adducin Gly460Trp polymorphism and blood pressure in FCHL patients.
A total of 79 unrelated patients with FCHL and 121 unrelated controls (spouses) were recruited for the study. Blood pressure was measured in a standardized fashion, with the subject in sitting position after 10 min of rest. The alpha-adducin Gly460Trp polymorphism was detected by mutagenically separated polymerase chain reaction.
The genotype frequencies of both FCHL patients and controls were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The alpha-adducin Gly460Trp polymorphism showed a significant association with FCHL, the number of subjects carrying a 460Trp allele was significantly higher in patients compared with controls (53% v 33%, chi2 = 8.0, P = .018). In FCHL patients carrying at least one 460Trp allele, SBP was significantly higher compared with patients homozygous for the 460Gly allele (140 mm Hg and 130 mm Hg respectively, P = .015).
This study shows that the 460Trp allele is associated with FCHL. Furthermore, SBP is increased in patients carrying the 460Trp allele.
在一项针对家族性混合型高脂血症(FCHL)的全基因组扫描中,已在4号染色体上确定了一个与收缩压(SBP)相关的基因座,其中包含α-内收蛋白基因(ADD1)。在先前的研究中,已发现α-内收蛋白Gly460Trp多态性与盐敏感性高血压之间存在关联。在本研究中,我们调查了α-内收蛋白Gly460Trp多态性与FCHL患者血压之间的关联。
共招募了79名无亲缘关系的FCHL患者和121名无亲缘关系的对照者(配偶)参与研究。以标准化方式测量血压,受试者休息10分钟后取坐姿。通过诱变分离聚合酶链反应检测α-内收蛋白Gly460Trp多态性。
FCHL患者和对照者的基因型频率均处于Hardy-Weinberg平衡。α-内收蛋白Gly460Trp多态性与FCHL显著相关,与对照者相比,携带460Trp等位基因的患者数量显著更高(53%对33%,χ2 = 8.0,P = 0.018)。在携带至少一个460Trp等位基因的FCHL患者中,SBP显著高于460Gly等位基因纯合的患者(分别为140 mmHg和130 mmHg,P = 0.015)。
本研究表明460Trp等位基因与FCHL相关。此外,携带460Trp等位基因的患者SBP升高。
