Hypertension is a major global public health problem that affects both pediatric and adult populations. ACE I/D, AGT M235T, and ADD Gly460Trp polymorphisms are thought to be associated with primary hypertension. In the present study, we examined the frequency of these polymorphisms in a pediatric population with secondary hypertension.
Included in the study were 58 hypertensive and 58 normotensive pediatric patients. ACE I/D and AGT M235T polymorphisms are determined by conventional PCR; ADD Gly460Trp polymorphism was investigated using PCR amplification of genomic DNA.
There were significant differences between the control group and pediatric hypertensive group in terms of ACE I/D (P<0.05) and AGT M235T (P<0.05) polymorphisms, but there were no differences in ADD Gly460Trp (P>0.05) polymorphism.
We suggest that RAS gene polymorphisms (ACE-I/D, AGT M235T) are significantly associated with susceptibility to diseases that lead to secondary hypertension.
高血压是一个影响儿童和成人的主要全球公共卫生问题。血管紧张素转换酶(ACE)I/D、血管紧张素原(AGT)M235T和肾上腺髓质素(ADD)Gly460Trp基因多态性被认为与原发性高血压有关。在本研究中,我们检测了这些基因多态性在继发性高血压儿童人群中的频率。
本研究纳入了58例高血压儿童患者和58例血压正常的儿童患者。ACE I/D和AGT M235T基因多态性通过常规聚合酶链反应(PCR)测定;ADD Gly460Trp基因多态性通过基因组DNA的PCR扩增进行研究。
对照组与儿童高血压组在ACE I/D(P<0.05)和AGT M235T(P<0.05)基因多态性方面存在显著差异,但在ADD Gly460Trp(P>0.05)基因多态性方面无差异。
我们认为肾素-血管紧张素系统(RAS)基因多态性(ACE-I/D、AGT M235T)与导致继发性高血压的疾病易感性显著相关。
