摘要
The relationship between the tenth exon C825T of G-protein β3 subunit (GNB) genetic polymorphism and hypertension in the Uygur population of China was investigated. A nested case-control study ( = 738) was carried out. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique was used to genotype GNB C825T polymorphism in 354 hypertensive (HT) and 384 normotensive (NT) Uygur subjects. The distributions of GNB C825T genotypes were CC (27.2%), TT (42.9%), and CT (29.9%) in the hypertensive subjects and CC (27.7%), TT (42.4%), CT (29.9%) in the normotensive subjects. There were no significant differences in the genotype distributions between the two groups ( = 0.0262 P = 0.99). The T allele was 51.4% in hypertensive subjects and 51.2% in normotensive subjects, which, between the two groups, was not a significant difference ( = 0.0016 P = 0.97). Further analysis shows that there is no association between C825T genotypes and age, body mass index (BMI), Glucose (GLU), Triglyceride (TG), Cholesterol (CHO), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). No evidence was found to suggest an association between GNB C825T polymorphism and hypertension in the Uygur population of China.
