title: [Polymorphic variability of apolipoprotein B genes and insulin receptor in essential hypertension].
abstract: The association of the polymorphisms of two candidate genes with essential hypertension was studied in 74 hypertensive and 118 normotensive subjects. Two restrictions endonucleases were used: PstI for the insulin receptor gene and PvuII for the apolipoprotein B gene. PstI RFLP in the INSR gene locus consists of two polymorphic alleles P1 (1800bp) and P2 (1500bp). Frequencies of these alleles in general population are 0.15 and 0.85 respectively. The results showed statistically significant association between P1 allele and homozygotus genotype P1P1 for the INSR gene and essential hypertension. Clinical data of homozygotus P1P1 individuals revealed earlier clinical onset and more severe course of the disease. PvuII RFLP in the apoB gene locus consists of two polymorphic alleles Pul (7900bp) and Pu2(5500 bp). Frequencies of these alleles in general population are 0.93 and 0.07 respectively. In the apoB gene analysis Pu1 and Pu2 allele frequencies were similar in both studied groups. However the higher frequency of homozygotus genotype Pu1Pu2 was observed in hypertension.
