The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of the α-adducin-1 gene () (Gly460Trp [rs4961]) polymorphism and its expression in association with renal dysfunction and sodium sensitivity in hypertensive patients in western Ukrainian population. One-hundred patients with essential arterial hypertension (EAH) and hypertensive-mediated target organ damage (stage 2), moderate, high, and very high cardiovascular risk were enrolled in case-control study. Sixty healthy individuals were assigned as controls.

One-hundred hypertensive patients participated in the case-control study to clarify the risk of endothelial dysfunction and carotid "intima media" thickness (IMT) changes depending on NOS3 (rs2070744) and GNB3 (rs5443) genes' polymorphisms. It is found that presence of NOS3 gene's С-allele significantly elevates the risk of atherosclerotic plaques on carotid arteries (OR95%CI: 1.

The aim of the present study was to clarify the endothelial function biomarkers and carotid "intima media" thickness (IMT) changes in relation to (rs5443) and (rs2070744) genes polymorphism in the essential arterial hypertension (EAH). Methods. One-hundred EAH patients (48 - control) participated in the case-control study.

Essential arterial hypertension (EAH) is a polygenic disease due to environmental, genetic, and epigenomic factors. The study aimed to establish the association of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of AGTR1 (rs5186) and VDR (rs2228570) genes with the blood pressure (BP) elevation in EAH patients. 100 EAH subjects with hypertensive-mediated organ damaging (2 stage), moderate, high, or very high cardiovascular risk were recruited into the case-control study.

Objective: The cytochrome 11B2 aldosterone synthase gene (CYP11B2) that links to aldosterone synthase enzyme synthesis changes and blood pressure regulation is of particular interest among the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system encoding genes.
Methods: One-hundred hypertensive patients with target-organ damaging (2nd stage), moderate, high or very high cardiovascular risk were involved in the case-control study. Mean age was 59.
