pubmed:abstractText |
Essential hypertension (EH) is a common late-onset disease that exhibits complex genetic heterogeneity. Human lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a rate-limiting enzyme that regulates the catabolism of triglycerides (TG) and chylomicrons (CM). Since dyslipidemia is a common finding in hypertensive patients, the LPL gene is a logical candidate gene that could contribute to the development of hypertension. Using linkage analysis in 148 Chinese hypertensive families, we identified a region of linkage with systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) that consisted of a 10.6-cM interval defined by markers D8S1145, D8S261, and D8S282 on chromosome 8, which maps between 31 to 41.6 cM from the 8p-telomere contained LPL gene, with statistically significant p values for the marker D8S261 (p = 0.0021 for SBP, and p = 0.0395 for DBP). In the qualitative-trait linkage analysis, evidence for linkage between the marker D8S1145 and EH was found (p = 0.0286). The transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT/S-TDT) also supported a significant linkage-disequilibrium of the allele 3 of D8S261 with EH (chi2 = 8.643, p < 0.01). Furthermore, the marker neurofilament light polypeptide (NEFL) (11 cM centromeric to the LPL gene) appeared to be in linkage with SBP and DBP (p = 0.0329 for SBP; p = 0.0319 for DBP). Additionally, two flanking markers for LPL, D8S511 (9.5 cM telomeric to the LPL gene) and D8S560 (3.2 cM centromeric to the LPL gene), also showed significant linkage with EH (p = 0.0036 for D8S511; p = 0.0115 for D8S560). Previous knowledge about the physiological involvement of LPL in blood pressure regulation and the present findings of variation near the LPL gene support the proposition that a region near the LPL gene or the LPL gene itself might contribute to the individual blood pressure variation in Chinese.
