Abstract
Objective To detect the A/C1165 polymorphism of angiotensin Ⅱ type Ⅰ receptor (AT1-R)gene in essential hypertensive elderly. Methods The A/C1166 polymorphism of AT1-R gene was assessed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in a case-control study of 87 essential hypertensive elders (EH) and 55 normolensive elders (NT). Results The genotype frequencies of AA, AC, CC were 0 .805 , 0.161, 0 .034 in EH group and 0 .927 ,0 .073 ,0 .000 in NT group respectively. The frequency of C61166 allele was higher in EH group (0.115) than in NT group (0 .036 )(P0 .05 ). Conclusion The resultsindicate that A/C1166 polymorphism of AT1-R gene may be associated with essential hypertension in elderly.
