β2-Adrenoceptor gene polymorphisms and blood pressure variations in East Anglian Caucasians

Abstract: These findings suggest that the amino-terminal polymorphisms of the beta2AR gene are unlikely to constitute major susceptibility for essential hypertension in the East Anglian population.

“…Finally, the 164Ile variant of the ADRB2 is associated with a decreased native adipocyte receptor function. 14 Although several previous reports have described associations between these polymorphisms and hypertension or obesity, [15][16][17][18][19][20] few studies have taken into account both variables in the same design. To our knowledge, this is the most extensive work done analyzing these polymorphisms and blood pressure and obesity phenotypes both as continuous and dichotomous variables in the same population.…”

“…The relations between the polymorphisms of the ADRB2 gene and hypertension phenotypes have been assessed in European, 18 American, 19 Japanese, 16,17 and African Caribbean 20 populations, and the apparent lack of consistency in the results among these studies may be, at least partially, attributable to ethnic differences. Another possible explanation for the discordant data regarding association of these alleles with hypertension is a population-specific role for a particular allele.…”

“…9 On the contrary, recent data have reported a greater BP fall in the R389R b1AR carriers. 13,14 The role of the G-protein a-(GNAS) and b-(GNB3) subunit polymorphisms (T-C, Ile131 GNAS and C825T GNB3 ) has been analyzed in EH [15][16][17] and in the response to bblockers and thiazides, respectively.…”

“…b1, b2 and b3 ARs polymorphisms (R389G b1AR , R16G b2AR and W64R b3AR ) have been associated contradictorily with EH, [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] and R16G b2AR was found not predictive of the antihypertensive response to b-blockers. 9 On the contrary, recent data have reported a greater BP fall in the R389R b1AR carriers.…”

“…Other studies have been unable to replicate these findings. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Therefore, in spite of the large number of previous reports about the association between these two polymorphisms and hypertension, the conclusion remains unclear. To clarify the effect of A46G and C79G polymorphisms on the risk of hypertension, we conducted a meta-analysis from all eligible case-control studies published to date.…”
