Sequence variation of bradykinin receptors B1 and B2 and association with hypertension

Abstract: These results support the hypothesis that the African-American population is an older population compared with the other samples and the two bradykinin receptors may play a role in blood pressure regulation.

“…8,9 Whites with essential hypertension were recruited from hypertension clinics at Boston Medical Center, Boston, Mass, and the Tzanion Hospital, Piraeus, Greece, and have been described elsewhere. 21 African-American hypertensives were recruited from the hypertension clinics at Boston Medical Center. Affected individuals either had blood pressures Ͼ140 mm Hg or were receiving antihypertensive medication.…”

“…Earlier studies already associated the þ 9 bp with decreased BDKRB2 transcriptional activity, 5 an increased systolic BP, 10 and an elevated prevalence of that allele in hypertensives compared with a normotensive population. 11 These data taken together suggest a pathophysiologic mechanism by which the bradykinin type 2 receptor contributes to the development of hypertension. In the present report, we did not confirm this presumed association, suggesting that the þ 9 bp variant of BDKRB2 might not confer susceptibility to hypertension in the evaluated population.…”

“…A variant in BDKRB1 (-699 G>C) was slightly associated with progression of polycystic kidney disease (Tazón-Vega et al, 2007) but also with the risk of inflammatory bowel disease . BDKRB1 variants were also reported in the context of hypertension (Cui et al, 2005).…”
