Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to address the presently controversial question of whether cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A5 polymorphism is associated with hypertension.
Method: We studied 373 elderly (age > or =75 years) Finnish (Caucasian) patients from the ongoing DEBATE (Drugs and Evidence Based Medicine in the Elderly) trial. The patients were classified into those with a history of hypertension (n = 229) and those without a history of hypertension (n = 144) on the basis of a detailed questionnaire on each patient's medical history and an interview. The patients were genotyped for the CYP3A5 6986A/G single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) [CYP3A5*1/*3 alleles].
Results: The proportion of individuals with the CYP3A5*1/*3 genotype, i.e. CYP3A5 expressors, was significantly higher among patients with a diagnosis of hypertension than among patients without (18.3% vs 9.0%, p = 0.016). The corresponding odds ratio was 2.26 (95% CI 1.17, 4.38). The allele and genotype frequencies for the two control SNPs, ABCB1 (MDR1) 3435C/T and SLCO1B1 521T/C, did not differ between the two groups.
Conclusion: This work lends support to the theory that the polymorphic CYP3A5 enzyme may be involved in regulation of blood pressure. The possible role of CYP3A5 as a genetic contributor to hypertension susceptibility warrants further study.
