gene polymorphisms influence on antihypertensive effectiveness and hypouricemic effect of losartan among patients with arterial hypertension: an observational study.

Objectives: gene polymorphic variants can decrease the effects of losartan, reducing active metabolite (E-3174) formation. Study aims to determine the influence of (+430C>T; rs799853) and *3 (+1075A>C; rs1057910) gene polymorphic variants on the hypotensive and uricosuric effect of losartan on patients with arterial hypertension.

Methods: Eighty one patients with stage 1-2 arterial hypertension newly diagnosed with ABMP were enrolled in the study.

Genetic determinants of dabigatran safety (CES1 gene rs2244613 polymorphism) in the Russian population: multi-ethnic analysis.

This study was aimed to investigate the prevalence of the CES1 gene (c.1168-33A > C, rs2244613) polymorphism among 12 different ethnic groups living in Russia to provide a basis for future clinical studies concerning genetic determinants of dabigatran safety. The study involved 1630 apparently healthy, unrelated, and chronic medication-free volunteers of both genders from 12 different ethnic groups in Russia: 136 Russians, 90 Avars, 50 Dargins, 46 Laks, 120 Kabardians, 112 Balkars, 244 Ossetians, 206 Mari, 204 Mordvinians, 238 Chuvashes, 114 Buryats and 70 Nanays.
