Abstract
Research has shown that bradykinin β2 receptor (BDKRB2) −58T/C gene polymorphism is correlated with the risk of essential hypertension (EH), but the results remain inconclusive. The objective of this study was to explore the association between BDKRB2−58T/C gene polymorphism and EH. A meta-analysis of 11 studies with 3882 subjects was conducted. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) for the association between BDKRB2−58T/C gene polymorphism and EH and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using the random effects model. The BDKRB2−58T/C gene polymorphism was significantly correlated with EH under an allelic genetic model (OR = 1.24, 95% CI = 1.05–1.46; P = 0.01), a dominant genetic model (OR = 0.65, 95% CI = 0.47–0.90; P = 0.01), a recessive genetic model (OR = 1.146, 95% CI = 1.035–1.269; P = 0.009), a homozygote genetic model (OR = 1.134, 95% CI = 1.048–1.228; P = 0.002), and a heterozygote genetic model (OR = 1.060, 95% CI = 1.009–1.112; P = 0.019). The BDKRB2−58T/C gene polymorphism is associated with increased EH risk. The results of this study suggest that carriers of the −58C allele are susceptible to EH.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
