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. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS-17.0. The values of Р < 0.05 were considered reliable.

Results: Results: An association between the Lys198Asn polymorphism of the EDN1 gene and the IAS development was detected. For Asn/Asn genotype carriers, the risk of IAS developing is 4 times higher than that of homozygotes for the major allele. The association of this polymorphism with the arterial pool, whose atherothrombotic changes lead to the development of IAS, was found in individuals with BMI < 25 kg/m2. Lys198Asn polymorphism also affects the severity of IAS in persons with hypertension and non-smokers.

Conclusion: Conclusion: The Lys198Asn polymorphism of the EDN1 gene influences some characteristics of 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.

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.
