Objective: To investigate the relationships between rs3865418 polymorphism of neural precursor cell expressed developmentally downregulated 4-like gene and obesity in Kazakh general population.
Methods: Based on a cross-sectional epidemiological study in a Kazakh general population, a case-control study was conducted. The rs3865418 polymorphism in a Kazakh general population (856 subjects, including 364 males and 492 females; 478 in obesity group and 378 in normal control group) was genotyped by TaqMan polymerase chain reaction, and the relationship between rs3865418 polymorphism and obesity was analyzed.
Results: The rs3865418 polymorphism was successfully genotyped in 851 Kazakh subjects. The distribution of the genotypes and alleles of rs3865418 polymorphism did not differ significantly between the obesity group and normal control group in terms of general populations, males, and females (all P > 0.05). The waist circumference showed a tendency of C/C > C/T > T/T in males and C/C < C/T < T/T in females, but without statistical significance (P > 0.05).
Conclusions: The rs3865418 polymorphism of neural precursor cell expressed developmentally downregulated 4-like gene may not be associated with obesity in Kazakh general population. In other words, it is not a predisposing factor for obesity in Kazakh.

Genetic variation of NEDD4L has been associated with hypertension and related phenotypes with conflicting results, probably attributable to gender-, age- and ethnicity-related variations in its phenotypic expression. We evaluated the association of three representative polymorphisms in NEDD4L (rs2288774, rs3865418 and rs4149601) with essential hypertension (EH) in a community-based sample of men (n = 1029) and women (n = 869) belonging to Han Chinese, Southern China, to probe whether gender interacts with NEDD4L in contributing to the risk of EH. In this population sample, rs4149601 was excluded from further analysis due to deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

NEDD4L is a candidate gene for hypertension, both functionally and genetically. Recently, studies showed evidence for the association of NEDD4L with obesity, a key intermediate phenotype in hypertension. To further investigate the relationship between NEDD4L and body mass-related phenotypes, we genotyped three common variants (rs2288774, rs3865418 and rs4149601) in a population-based study of 892 unrelated Han Cantonese using the Sequenom MALDI-TOF-MS platform.

Neural precursor cell expressed developmentally down-regulated 4-like (NEDD4L) gene may play an important role in the development of hypertension by regulating the amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channel for sodium reabsorption. Recently, a functional polymorphism located at the last nucleotide of exon 1 (rs4149601) of the NEDD4L gene were found to be associated with hypertension both in African Americans and whites, and a "flip-flop" association with hypertension was found in two white samples for a polymorphism located at intron 13 (rs3865418). In this study, we aimed at examining the role of these two variants on essential hypertension in Chinese Hans.
