Abstract

Development of hypertension is caused by complex contributions of genetic and environmental factors. In spite of the increased understanding of hypertension, genetic factors that contribute to hypertension largely remain elusive. ANO1 gene encoding a calcium-activated chloride channel has recently been reported to affect spontaneous hypertension in the animal model. In this report, we investigated possible association of the ANO1 gene with hypertension in human with ANO1 variants found in Korean population. Fourteen polymorphisms of ANO1 gene were analyzed to be associated with hypertension. Interestingly, the six polymorphisms that showed statistically significant association were all the male subjects. The highest significant SNP was rs7127129 (OR=1.14, CI: 1.02~1.28, additive P=0.023; OR=1.24, CI: 1.03~1.49, dominant P=0.025), and other five SNPs (rs2509153, rs11235473, rs10751200, rs10898827 and rs10899928) were also statistically associated with hypertension. Consequently, we found that the genetic variants of ANO1 present statistically significant associations with hypertension in human, especially, in male. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first report describing association of genetic polymorphisms of ANO1 with hypertension in human.
