Genetic association studies on antihypertensive response.

Gene SNP Outcome Study Findings Similar Dissimilar
Diuretics
ADD1 G460W Blood pressure Cusi et al. (54) W allele carriers respond better (55, 56) (57-60)
MI/stroke Psaty et al. (61) W allele carriers respond better (57, 62)
ACE I/D Blood pressure Sciarrone et al. (56) Better response in II carriers (123)** (123)**
AGT A(-6)G* Blood pressure Frazier et al. (64) -6A greater response (in AfrA women) (59, 65)
AGTR1 A1166C Blood pressure Frazier et al. (64) A allele better response (in AfrA women) (59, 65)
GNB3 C825T Blood pressure Turner et al. (66) Better response TT compared to CC (59)
Beta Blockers
ADRB1 R389G Blood pressure Sofowora et al. (71) AA greater response than GG (70, 72, 73) (69, 74, 75)
AGT A(-6)G* Blood pressure Kurland et al. (76) -6A allele greater response (77, 78)
ACE inhibitors
ACE I/D Blood pressure Hingorani et al. (80) No effect (59, 63, 78, 79, 124- 133)*** (133-137) (II > DD) (138-140) (DD>II)
AGT M235T Blood pressure Hingorani et al. (80) MT and TT greater response than MM (59, 60,
Clinical event Bis et al. (143) TT less risk of stroke (not MI) (62)
Angiotensin2 type 1 receptor antagonists
ACE I/D Blood pressure Kurland et al. (77) II carriers greater response (82, 83)
CYP11B2 C-344T Blood pressure Kurland et al. (81) TT carriers greater response (83)
AGTR1 A1166C Blood pressure Miller et al. (144) C carriers greater response (77, 82)
*

In linkage disequilibrium with M235T polymorphism.

**

Similar result for women, men more benefit with DD genotype.
