A common missense single nucleotide polymorphism in the E-selectin gene is significantly associated with essential hypertension in the Han population but only weakly associated in the Uygur population

Abstract: Experimental and clinical observations suggest that E-selectin could have an important role in essential hypertension (EH), but the relationship between common E-selectin variants and EH has not been extensively studied in the Chinese population. In this study, we explored the association between two common variants in the E-selectin gene (rs5361A/C and rs5355C/T) and EH in the Uygur, Kazakh and Han populations in the Xinjiang area. A case-control study was conducted to explore the association between these tw… Show more

“…A total of eleven studies met the inclusion criteria. Because one article [16] contained three ethnic groups (Han, Uygur and Kazak) with three independent results, we analyzed it as three separated cohorts for each polymorphism. Ten studies (twelve cohorts) evaluated A561C polymorphism and EH risk, including 2,813 cases and 2,817 controls.…”

“…In Xinjiang area, Wang et al . [16] investigated the relationship between E-selectin gene polymorphisms and EH in Han, Kazakh and Uygur populations. They also found there was no significant association between C1839T polymorphism and EH risk in these populations.…”

“…This discrepancy could be attributed to genetic heterogeneity among these different populations. Some variants may be poor markers for hypertension because of differences in the linkage-disequilibrium structure in ethnic backgrounds (Wang et al, 2012). Differences in gene-gene or gene-environment interactions in the development of hypertension in these ethnicities may also contribute to the discrepancy.…”

“…Furthermore, Faruque et al (10) assessed the association between SELE polymorphisms and both hypertension and blood pressure in African Americans and found two SNPs (rs3917420 and rs5361) in the SELE gene associated with SBP. Moreover, Wang et al (25) explored the association between two common variants in the E-selectin gene (rs5361A/C and rs5355C/T) and EH in the Uygur, Kazakh and Han populations in the Xinjiang area. These results indicated that the common variant rs5361 is strongly associated with EH in Han individuals and weakly associated in Uygur individuals.…”
