OBJECTIVE Aldosterone synthase produces aldosterone, which regulates electrolytes and thereby blood pressure. Polymorphisms in aldosterone-synthase gene (CYP11B2) may associate with heterogeneous aldosterone production and hypertension. Hence, we investigated -344T/C, Iw/Ic polymorphisms of CYP11B2, plasma renin activity (PRA) and aldosterone concentration (PAC). METHODS Consecutive ethnically-matched 450 hypertensive patients and 360 controls were screened by PCR-RFLP for genotypes and haplotypes; PRA and PAC were measured. RESULTS The Iw/Ic polymorphism distribution differed significantly between the two groups (LRT chi(2)=15.8, df=2, P=0.000). The mutant allele-Ic and genotype-Ic/Ic were overrepresented in patients (35% versus 27% and 13% versus 7%). Overrepresentation of T-Ic haplotype in patients was identified as risk haplotype (P=0.000). Patients had significantly higher PAC and aldosterone-to-renin ratio (ARR; P=0.000), which was Ic-allele dependent. CONCLUSIONS The haplotype T-Ic associated with hypertension susceptibility. Correlation between Ic-allele and raised ARR likely serve in hypertension management.

D012083 Renin A highly specific (Leu-Leu) endopeptidase that generates ANGIOTENSIN I from its precursor ANGIOTENSINOGEN, leading to a cascade of reactions which elevate BLOOD PRESSURE and increase sodium retention by the kidney in the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM.

D019405 Cytochrome P-450 CYP11B2 A mitochondrial cytochrome P450 enzyme that catalyzes the 18-hydroxylation of steroids in the presence of molecular oxygen and NADPH-specific flavoprotein. This enzyme, encoded by CYP11B2 gene, is important in the conversion of CORTICOSTERONE to 18-hydroxycorticosterone and the subsequent conversion to ALDOSTERONE.
