Association of the CYP4F2 rs2108622 genetic polymorphism with hypertension: a meta-analysis

X. - H. Luo, Li, G. - R., and Li, H. - Y., Association of the CYP4F2 rs2108622 genetic polymorphism with hypertension: a meta-analysis, vol. 14, pp. 15133-15139, 2015.

Previous case-control studies on the relationship between the CYP4F2 gene rs2108622 polymorphism and hypertension have produced contrasting results. In this study, we aimed to further evaluate the relationship between the CYP4F2 gene rs2108622 polymorphism and hypertension. We selected four case-control studies related to the CYP4F2 gene rs2108622 polymorphism and hypertension by searching PubMed, EMBase, the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and the Wanfang database.

G-395A polymorphism in the promoter region of the KLOTHO gene and hypertension among elderly (90 years and older) Chinese individuals

L. L. Gao, Ding, X., Xie, D. M., Yang, M., and Dong, B. R., G-395A polymorphism in the promoter region of the KLOTHO gene and hypertension among elderly (90 years and older) Chinese individuals, vol. 14, pp. 15444-15452, 2015.

The aim of this study was to examine the possible associations between the KLOTHO G-395A gene polymorphism and hypertension in Chinese nonagenarians and centenarians. The G-395A (rs1207568) in the promoter region of the KLOTHO gene was genotyped using a standard TaqMan allelic discrimination assay. We included 710 participants aged 93.5 ± 3.2 years in the analyses. The expression of the A allele of the KLOTHO G-395A polymorphism was significantly downregulated in the hypertension group compared to the control group (0.137 vs 0.200, P < 0.001).
