Association of regulator of G protein signaling (RGS5) gene variants and essential hypertension in Mongolian and Han populations

P. Y. Chang, Qin, L., Zhao, P., and Liu, Z. Y., “Association of regulator of G protein signaling (RGS5) gene variants and essential hypertension in Mongolian and Han populations”, vol. 14, pp. 17641-17650, 2015.

Genetic variants of the RGS5 gene are believed to be risk factors for hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we investigated the association between RGS5 gene variants and hypertension in the Mongolian and Han populations. Peripheral blood was obtained from 429 unrelated Mongolian herdsmen and 416 Han farmers [including essential hypertension (EH) patients and controls].

Association of NPRA and NPRC gene variants and hypertension in Mongolian population

P. Y. Chang, Liu, Z. Y., Qin, L., and Zhao, P., “Association of NPRA and NPRC gene variants and hypertension in Mongolian population”, vol. 14, pp. 18494-18502, 2015.

NPRA and NPRC are candidate susceptibility genes for essential hypertension (EH) and play a key role in the regulation of plasma levels and biological effects of natriuretic peptides. The aims of the present study were to find new genetic markers in the NPRA and NPRC genes and to assess relationships between variants and EH. A total of 797 unrelated Mongolian herdsmen were enrolled, including 389 EH patients and 408 normotensive controls. Genotyping was performed using the polymerase chain reaction/ligase detection reaction assay.

Association of SNPs in the PPARγ gene and hypertension in a Mongolian population

L. Yang, Tian, R. G., Chang, P. Y., Yan, M. R., and Su, X. L., “Association of SNPs in the PPARγ gene and hypertension in a Mongolian population”, vol. 14, pp. 19295-19308, 2015.

The association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in PPARγ with hypertension is controversial. The aim of the present study was to clarify the contributions of PPARγ genetic variants to hypertension through an association study. A total of 414 unrelated Mongolian herdsmen and 524 Han farmers were included in this study. Fourteen intronic SNPs were analyzed and genotyped using a polymerase chain reaction/ligase detection reaction assay.
