[Association between single nucleotide polymorphism of adenylyl cyclase 3 and essential hypertension]
1Department of Preventive Medicine, School of Medicine, Hangzhou Normal University, Hangzhou 310018, China.
Objective:
To explore the association between the tag single nucleotide polymorphism (tag SNP) of the adenylyl cyclase 3 (ADCY3) and the essential hypertension (EH).
Methods:
From April to July 2013, a total of 1 061 subjects diagnosed with EH and 1 218 control subjects were recruited from Ningbo, Zhejiang Province. Information was collected by face-to-face interview. Twelve tag SNPs were detected by ligase detection reaction technique.
Results:
After adjusted for age, gender, body mass index and other related factors, logistic regression analysis showed that 3 loci (rs11689546, rs7593130, rs2241759)were associated with EH. AG genotype of rs11689546 was associated with 0.494 times lower risk of EH (OR=0.494, 95%CI 0.246-0.993; compared with AA genotype). CT genotype of rs7593130 was associated with 1.596 times higher risk of EH (OR=1.596, 95%CI 1.009-2.524; compared with TT genotype), and CT/CC genotype of rs7593130 was associated with 1.627 times higher risk of EH (OR=1.627, 95%CI 1.034-2.559; compared with TT genotype). AG genotype of rs2241759 was associated with 0.669 times lower risk of EH (OR=0.669, 95%CI 0.503-0.891; compared with AA genotype), and CT/CC genotype of rs2241759 was associated with 0.687 times lower risk of EH (OR=0.687, 95%CI 0.518-0.911; compared with TT genotype).
Conclusion:
The polymorphisms of ADCY3 are associated with lower (G allele of the rs11689546 locus and G allele of the rs2241759 locus) or higher (C allele of the rs7593130 locus) risk of essential hypertension.

Adrenergic Receptors: β Subtype
Isoprenaline > Adrenaline > Noradrenaline
Neurotransmitter binding to these receptors causes activation of adenylyl cyclase resulting in increased concentrations of cAMP and modulation of calcium ion channels within the cell. They are further classified into β1, β2, and β3 subtypes.
