Correlation between classical transient receptor potential channel 1 gene polymorphism and microalbuminuria in patients with primary hypertension.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between transient receptor potential channel 1 () gene polymorphism and microalbuminuria in patients with primary hypertension. : A total of 468 patients with primary hypertension were admitted to the Department of Hypertension of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from April 2015 to November 2017. According to microalbuminuria, the patients were divided into two groups: high urinary albumin group (EH+mALB group, n = 71) and normal urinary microalbuminuria group (EH group, n = 397).

Transient receptor potential canonical 5 channel is involved in the cardiac damage related to obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome in rats.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is recognized as an independent risk factor of cardiovascular disease. The release of Ca2+ mediated by transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels participates in the hypoxia-induced pathophysiological changes in the cardiovascular systems in case of OSAHS. This study aimed to investigate which subtypes of TRPCs were involved in OSAHS in a rat model of intermittent hypoxia.

Deletion Polymorphism of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Gene is Associated with Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Uighur Hypertension-Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) Patients.

BACKGROUND This study aimed to explore the association of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion polymorphisms with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in Han and Uighur hypertension-OSAHS (obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome) patients in China. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 162 Han and 72 Uygur patients with hypertension-OSAHS were independently subdivided into an LVH group and a non-LVH (NLVH) group based on the left ventricular mass index. The insertion/deletion polymorphisms of ACE gene were determined by polymerase chain reaction.
