Background: Endothelin (ET)-1 is a potent vasoconstrictor peptide produced by endothelial cells and associated with vascular dysfunction and cardiovascular disease. Lys198Asn is a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of gene encoding ET-1 (EDN1). It is hypothesized that it might have a role in altering ET-1 and ultimately leading to vascular dysfunction and ischemic stroke. We therefore conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the association between Lys198Asn polymorphism of EDN1 gene and susceptibility of ischemic stroke.
Methods: This meta-analysis was conducted according to the guidance of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. We searched PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, Web of Science, J-STAGE, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) for relevant studies. The association between Lys198Asn polymorphism and ischemic stroke susceptibility was evaluated by calculating the pooled ORs and 95% CIs.
Results: Our analysis included 1,291 cases and 2,513 controls. Meta-analysis established a significant association between Lys198Asn SNP of EDN1 gene and ischemic stroke when assuming either recessive model (OR: 1.30; 95% CI: 1.02-1.65; p = .03; I = 41%) or dominant model (OR: 1.48; 95% CI: 1.24-1.76; p < .001; I = 61%). There was no evidence of publication bias in either of the recessive model (Egger test: p = .23; Begg test: p = .85) or dominant model (Egger test: p = .79; Begg test: p = .85). A subgroup analysis based on subtypes of ischemic stroke showed that Lys198Asn SNP was only associated with large vessel infarction but not with lacunar infarction caused by small vessel disease. A subgroup analysis based on ethnicity revealed that the Lys198Asn polymorphism of the EDN1 gene was associated with ischemic stroke only in Caucasians.
Conclusions: The present meta-analysis suggests that Lys198Asn polymorphism of EDN1 gene is associated with an increased risk for ischemic stroke.

Introduction: The female gender is a risk factor for idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension. However, it is unknown whether females with rheumatic mitral valve disease are more predisposed to develop pulmonary hypertension compared to males.
Aim: We aimed to investigate whether there was a difference in genotypic distribution of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and endothelin receptor A (ET) genes between female and male patients of pulmonary hypertension associated with rheumatic mitral valve disease (PH-MVD).

Objectives: Endothelin-1 (ET-1), the most potent endogenous vasoconstrictor, generated by enzymatic cleavage catalyzed by an endothelin-converting enzyme (ECE), plays a significant role in the regulation of hypertension.
Methods: This study investigates the effect of endothelin-1 (Lys198Asn/rs5370) and ECE (rs212526 C/T) gene polymorphisms with essential hypertension (EH) among Malay ethnics. To determine the association of gene polymorphism, 177 hypertensives and controls (196) were genotyped using method.

Introduction: Endothelin-1 (ET-1) gene polymorphisms are implicated in pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Methods: We studied ET-1 (Lys198Asn and 3A/4A) and endothelin receptor A (ET) gene (His323His) polymorphisms in 123 subjects with pulmonary hypertension associated with rheumatic mitral valve disease (PH-MVD) and 123 healthy controls.
Results: The mutant homozygous Asn/Asn genotype in Lys198Asn and T/T genotype in His323His polymorphism was more prevalent in the PH-MVD group.
Objective: The aim: Investigate the effect of Lys198Asn polymorphism of the EDN1 gene on ischemic atherothrombotic stroke characteristics.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: Venous blood of 170 patients with ischemic atherothrombotic stroke (IAS) and 124 patients without cerebrovascular pathology, who made up the control group, used for the study. Lys198Asn (rs5370) polymorphism of the EDN1 gene was determined by the polymerase chain reaction method followed by restriction fragment length analysis.

BACKGROUND Human endothelin-1 (ET-1) gene polymorphism is closely associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). This study aimed to investigate the association of 2 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), +138 I/D and Lys198Asn) of the ET-1 gene,with early onset of CAD in Han Chinese patients. We investigated the effects of Lys198Asn polymorphism on ET-1 protein expression upon stimulation with pro-inflammatory factors.
