SNP rs4538 CYP11B2: g.142913286G> T study in essential hypertension

Abstract

The paper presents results of processing sequences of 6th exon CYP11B2 taken from 40 DNA samples of patients diagnosed with arterial hypertension. Site rs4538 (NC_000008.11:g.142913286G>T, NM_000498.3:c.1120C>A) revealed a high mutation frequency. The carrier frequencies of allelic variants G and T were 0.556 and 0.444 respectively. The aldosterone content in the blood serum samples averaged 206.1 pg/ml, with high variation in concentrations ranging from 18.18 pg/ml to 933.8 pg/ml. Preliminary evaluation of polymorphism association showed that aldosterone levels were higher for allele T variant (224.0 pg/ml) than for G (191.7 pg/ml).
