Characteristics of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System in Carriers of Polymorphic Variants of the VDR Gene With Arterial Hypertension and Obesity

AIM: to study the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-system (RAAS) in patients with polymorphic variants of the vitamin D receptor gene (VDR), arterial hypertension (AH) and obesity.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: We included in this study 98 patients with stage II-III AH and obesity (33 men, 65 women, mean age 61.1±9.9 years and BMI 43.3±5.0 kg/m2). The VDR gene study included genotypes TaqI, BsmI, FokI. After identification of TaqI, BsmI, FokI VDR gene sites we carried out measurements of levels of RAAS markers.

RESULTS: We revealed an associative relationship between the presence of allele G of the BsmI site, C/C homozygosity of FokI site of VDR gene and presence of AH in patients with obesity. An increase of renin level was noted only in the homozygous T/T genotype of FokI, no differences in the concentration of aldosterone and angiotensin were detected between any of the studied genotypes.

CONCLUSION: Polymorphic alleles and genotypes of the VDR gene can be used as predictors of AH development in obese patients with subsequent characterization of the state of the RAAS system.
