Associations of the hypertension-related single nucleotide polymorphism rs11191548 with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and leptin in Chinese children.
RESULTS The polymorphisms rs11191548 and rs4919687 were significantly associated with hypertension risk, which was confirmed by systolic and diastolic blood pressure distribution analyses between different genotype groups, and these two polymorphisms were found in linkage disequilibrium.
The present meta-analysis indicated significant associations of both CYP17A1 rs11191548 and FGF5 rs16998073 polymorphisms with hypertension susceptibility in East Asians.
The genetic risk score, calculated as the sum of BP-increasing alleles of FGF5-rs16998073, CYP17A1-rs11191548, CYP17A1-rs1004467 and MTHFR-rs17367504, was significantly associated with increased SBP (1.16 mmHg/allele, P = 9.01E-5), DBP (0.51 mmHg/allele, P = 4.40E-4) and hypertension risk (OR = 1.22/allele, P = 2.74E-7).
