To investigate the association between polymorphisms in the G protein-coupled receptor kinase 4 gene (GRK4) (R65L, A142V and A486V) and essential hypertension in northern Han Chinese, we conducted a case-control study consisting of 503 individuals with essential hypertension (HT) and 490 age-, gender-, and area-matched normotensive (NT) controls. The three GRK4 variants were genotyped by PCR-RFLP analysis. Both haplotype and single locus analysis were used to process the genotyping data. The A486 allele showed a significant association with HT (P < 0.001). A total of 6 haplotypes were observed in the entire population, with the haplotypes L-V-A and R-A-A being found to be significantly related to hypertension (P= 0.001).
为了研究G蛋白偶联受体激酶4基因（GRK4）多态性（R65L、A142V和A486V）与中国北方汉族人群原发性高血压之间的关联，我们进行了一项病例对照研究，该研究包括503例原发性高血压（HT）患者和490例年龄、性别及地区匹配的血压正常（NT）对照者。通过聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性分析（PCR-RFLP）对GRK4基因的三个变体进行基因分型。单倍型和单基因座分析均用于处理基因分型数据。A486等位基因与原发性高血压显著相关（P < 0.001）。在整个人群中共观察到6种单倍型，发现单倍型L-V-A和R-A-A与高血压显著相关（P = 0.001）。
