The present results indicated PRCP rs7104980 can be considered as a marker for EH and Hap3 GAGCACTAACA (PRCP) and Hap16 TTTA (CMA1) might be associated with EH in Chinese Han population.
The results indicated that the rs9607267 of the HMOX1 gene was significantly associated with essential hypertension (EH) and the Hap3(T-C-G) of the HMOX1 gene was also significantly associated with the risk of EH.
Compared with the most common Hap2 CAGC, Hap1 AGAC and Hap3 CGAC, which carry the susceptible rs2304595 G allele and rs4253325 A allele, were found to significantly increase the risk of essential hypertension with adjusted odds ratios equal to 1.37 and 1.17, respectively (P < 0.0001 and 0.028).
