Περίληψη – Summary

Arterial hypertension is a common multifactorial disease affecting globally more than 30% of population. The genetics of hypertension is a challenging field that remains still unclear. VKORC1 is a major enzyme of vitamin K cycle catalyzing the conversion of vitamin K-epoxide back to vitamin K. Vitamin K dependent proteins are involved in coagulation, calcium metabolism and other physiological mechanisms. Undercar-boxylation of these proteins due to genetic polymorphisms of VKORC1 leads to arterial calcification which is a main cause and a clinical symptom of arterial hypertension. Moreover, VKORC1 is the target of coumarins during anticoagulant therapy and VKORC1 gene polymorphisms are of major importance in anticoagulation pharmacogenetics. The aim of the present study is to explore the association of VKORC1 -1639G>A polymorphism with arterial hypertension. 77 hypertensive and 68 normotensive subjects participated in the study. The participants belonged to the Muslim community of Western Thrace. VKORC1 -1639G>A polymorphism was genotyped with PCR-RFLP method. The frequency of VKORC1 -1639A variant allele was 49.4% in hypertensive subjects compared to 47.8% in normotensive controls and did not differ between two groups (p=0.724). In total of subjects, VKORC1 -1639AA genotype was present at a frequency of 28.3%. In conclusion, we found no association of VKORC1 -1639G>A polymorphism with arterial hypertension. However, a proportion of approximately 30% of the studied population is sensitive to anticoagulant therapy and may need dose adjustment in case of anticoagulant treatment.
