A gender-specific association of the polymorphism Ile197Met in the kininogen 1 gene with plasma irbesartan concentrations in Chinese patients with essential hypertension.
rs710446 of the KNG1 gene was associated with IS susceptibility based on an additive genetic model (rs710446: P = .012; odds ratio [OR], 1.247; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.050-1.481) after adjusting for covariates.
This study aimed to determine the connection between polymorphisms of kallikrein kinin system including KLK1 (rs5516), KNG1 (rs710446, rs2304456) and ACE (rs4291, rs4309, rs4343) and late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD).
Seven SNPs (F5 rs6025, F2 rs1799963, ABO rs514659, FGG rs2066865, F11 rs2289252, PROC rs1799810 and KNG1 rs710446) with four SNP-SNP interactions contributed to the genetic risk score for VTE, with an AUC of 0.66 (95% CI, 0.64-0.68).
In male, but not female participants, rs2304456 CC genotype and rs4686799 TT genotype were significantly related to hypertension [odds ratio (OR) = 2.20, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.24-3.90, P = 0.007 and OR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.04-1.66, P = 0.025, respectively].

The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of ACE insertion/deletion (I/D) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) Glu298Asp (G894-->T) and T-786-->C polymorphisms in patients with systemic sclerosis.
Reduced vasorelaxations were associated with increased number of clinical risk factors for atherosclerosis (r = - 0.54, P < 0.001), whereas the Glu298Asp variant was not associated with any differences in contractions to phenylephrine, NO-mediated vasorelaxations to acetylcholine, bradykinin or calcium ionophore, or relaxations to the NO donor sodium nitroprusside.
