Previous genome-wide association studies (GWASs) found that several ATP2B1 variants are associated with essential hypertension (EHT). But the "genome-wide significant" ATP2B1 SNPs (rs2681472, rs2681492, rs17249754, and rs1105378) are in strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) and are located in the same LD block in Chinese populations. We asked whether there are other SNPs within the ATP2B1 gene associated with susceptibility to EHT in the Han Chinese population. Therefore, we performed a case-control study to investigate the association of seven tagSNPs within the ATP2B1 gene and EHT in the Han Chinese population, and we then analyzed the interaction among different SNPs and nongenetic risk factors for EHT. A total of 902 essential hypertensive cases and 902 normotensive controls were involved in the study. All 7 tagSNPs within the ATP2B1 gene were retrieved from HapMap, and genotyping was performed using the Tm-shift genotyping method. Chi-squared test, logistic regression, and propensity score analysis showed that rs17249754 was associated with EHT, particularly in females. The MDR analysis demonstrated that the interaction of rs2070759, rs17249754, TC, TG, and BMI increased the susceptibility to hypertension. Crossover analysis and stratified analysis indicated that BMI has a major effect on the development of hypertension, while ATP2B1 variants have a minor effect.

Insulin resistance is a major indicator of cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension. The Metabolic Score for Insulin Resistance (METS-IR) offers a simplified and cost-effective way to evaluate insulin resistance. This study aimed to identify genetic variants associated with the prevalence of hypertension stratified by METS-IR score levels.

ATP2B1 is a known regulator of calcium (Ca) cellular export and homeostasis. Diminished levels of intracellular Ca content have been suggested to impair SARS-CoV-2 replication. Here, we demonstrate that a nontoxic caloxin-derivative compound (PI-7) reduces intracellular Ca levels and impairs SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Background: Genome-wide association studies and candidate gene association studies have identified more than 180 genetic variants statistically associated with anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC). However, the lack of functional validation has hindered the clinical translation of these findings.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to functionally validate all genes associated with AIC using human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs).

Background: It is valuable to analyze the genome-wide association studies (GWAS) data for a complex disease phenotype in the context of the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, as the related pathophysiology results from the function of interacting polyprotein pathways. The analysis may include the design and curation of a phenotype-specific GWAS meta-database incorporating genotypic and eQTL data linking to PPI and other biological datasets, and the development of systematic workflows for PPI network-based data integration toward protein and pathway prioritization. Here, we pursued this analysis for blood pressure (BP) regulation.

ATP2B1 encodes plasma membrane calcium-transporting-ATPase1 and plays an essential role in maintaining intracellular calcium homeostasis that regulates diverse signaling pathways. Heterozygous de novo missense and truncating ATP2B1 variants are associated with a neurodevelopmental phenotype of variable expressivity. We describe a proband with distinctive craniofacial gestalt, Pierre-Robin sequence, neurodevelopmental and growth deficit, periventricular heterotopia, brachymesophalangy, cutaneous syndactyly, and persistent hypocalcemia from primary hypoparathyroidism.
