THE EFFECT OF NOS3 AND AGTR1 GENOTYPES ON THE COURSE OF THE ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION FOR THE OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE...

The aim: Objective of the research is to determine the effect of NOS3 and AGTR1 genotypes of patients with arterial hypertension and high body mass index in the course of the disease.

Materials and methods: 58 patients (22 men and 36 women) with AH and high BMI were examined. The average age of the examined patients was 53.6±8.7 years. The analysis of rs1799983 polymorphisms of the NOS3 gene (localization 7q36.1; 7:150999023) and AGTR1 (type 1 receptor for angiotensin 2 1166 A>C) was performed using TaqMan assay (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) by real-time PCR (Applied Biosystems, USA) using TaqMan probe amplification products. Genomic DNA samples were isolated from stabilized blood using a Genomic DNA Mini Kit reagent (Invitrogen, USA). The Statistica 10 program (StatSoft Inc.) was used for statistical processing of the obtained data, USA). The independent samples were compared using the Mann-Whitney (U) criterion. In all cases of statistical evaluation, the reliability of differences was taken into account at a value of p<0.05.

Results and conclusions: Polymorphism of the NOS3 and AGTR1 genes is associated with early development and complicated course of cardiovascular pathology. The combination of NOS3 and AGTR1 gene polymorphism in patients with the high body mass index increases the risk of complications in hypertension. Using a mathematical model to predict the probability (95%) of genetic mutations in two genes (NOS3 and AGTR1) increases the effectiveness of diagnosis for patients with the high risk of developing cardiovascular complications.
