Lack of Association Between Essential Hypertension andGSTO1Uncommon Genetic Variants in Italian Patients

Abstract: Our studies confirm the lack of association between GSTO1 variants and EH risk, also for two uncommon genetic variants with large functional effects. However, our study highlighted some hypotheses (sex-specific marker, antioxidant function, arsenic metabolism, and modulation of inflammation processes) that might help to clarify the potential role of GSTO1 in EH pathophysiology.

“…Many important genes associated with hypertension were reported [ 30 32 ], but most of them are based on a single-SNP model and the potential joint effects of multiloci models were less addressed. The single-SNP model of our current study, I/D ( ACE ), is significantly associated with hypertension using the chi-square test.…”
