The large Ca2+ and voltage-dependent potassium channel is important in regulating vascular tone in smooth muscle tissue. The rs11739136 KCNMB1 Glu65Lys polymorphism in the beta1 subunit of the Ca2+ and voltage-dependent potassium channel has, in some studies, been reported to associate with a protective effect on diastolic hypertension. The previous studies have, however, been conflicting, and the aim of the present study was to clarify the impact of the Glu65Lys polymorphism on hypertension at the population level of middle-aged people.
