Effects of and SNPs/haplotypes on blood pressure control in patients with adherence to antihypertensive therapy.

We examined whether (rs266729 and rs1501299) and (rs3918226 and rs1799983) SNPs or the haplotypes formed by them, affect blood pressure (BP) control in 196 patients with adherence to antihypertensive therapy grouped into controlled (BP <140/90 mmHg) and uncontrolled (BP ≥140/90 mmHg) hypertension. The average of the three most recent BP measurements was retrieved from the patients' electronic medical records. Adherence to antihypertensive therapy was evaluated using the Morisky-Green test.
