Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how specific genetic variations (polymorphisms) relate to the risk of essential hypertension (EH) among individuals.
- Results indicate that the -null genotype is linked to a greater risk of EH, especially in patients younger than 61, with a significant odds ratio of 4.
- Overall, the presence of the -null genotype, whether alone or in combination with other genotypes, increases the risk of hypertension, suggesting a potential genetic factor in the age of onset for the condition.
Background: Hypertension is a multifactorial disease involving both environmental and genetic Factros. G894 T eNOS polymorphism has been suggested to be responsible for reduced NO synthesis, and EH development. The objective of our case-control study is to evaluate the potential association of G894 T eNOS polymorphism with Essential Hypertension (EH) susceptibility, among a sample of Moroccan patients.
