Background: Hypertension is rising as a major public health burden around the world. This study explored the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-Binding Cassette Subfamily A1 (ABCA1) gene and hypertension among Chinese Han adults.
Method: A total of 2,296 Han Chinese in southeast China were recruited for this study. We collected medical reports, lifestyle details, and blood samples from individuals. The polymerase chain reaction-ligase detection reaction (PCR-LDR) method was used to detect the genotypes of these SNPs in the ABCA1 gene.
Results: After adjusting some covariates, the additive and recessive models of the rs2472510 and rs2515614 were significantly associated with hypertension. The haplotypes TCTA (rs2297406-rs2472433-rs2472510-rs2515614) were associated with high SBP, and the haplotypes CCTA, TCTA, and TTTA were associated with high diastolic blood pressure (DBP).
Conclusion: The results of the relationship between the polymorphisms of rs2297406, rs2472433, rs2472510, and rs2515614 in ABCA1 and hypertension in southeastern China would provide a theoretical basis for genetic screening and disease prevention.

Tangier disease is an extremely rare autosomal recessive monogenic disorder caused by mutations in the ATP binding cassette transporter A1 gene (ABCA1). It is characterized by severe deficiency or absence of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and apolipoprotein A-1 (ApoA1), with highly variable clinical presentations depending on cholesterol accumulation in macrophages across different tissues. We report a case of a 47-year-old man with very low HDL-C and very high triglyceride levels, initially attributed to the patient's metabolic syndrome, alcohol abuse, and splenomegaly.

: The multiple drug-resistant phenomenon has long since plagued the effectiveness of various chemotherapies used in the treatment of patients with glioblastoma (GBM), which is still incurable to this day. ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters function as drug transporters and have been touted to be the main culprits in developing resistance to xenobiotic drugs in GBM. : This review systematically analyzed the efficacy of ABC transporters against various anticancer drugs from 16 studies identified from five databases (PubMed, Medline, Embase, Scopus, and ScienceDirect).

Obesity is a global epidemic associated with chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolic disorders. Bariatric surgery is a highly effective intervention for sustained weight loss and the improvement of obesity-related comorbidities. However, post-surgery nutritional deficiencies, including vitamin E, remain a concern.

Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a chronic vascular dysfunction, is a common health problem that causes serious complications such as painful varicose veins and even skin ulcers. Identifying the underlying genetic and epigenetic factors is important for improving the quality of life of individuals with CVI. In the literature, many genes, variants, and miRNAs associated with CVI have been identified through genomic and transcriptomic studies.
