Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1 (PPARGC1/PGC-1) is a transcriptional coactivator of nuclear hormone receptors implicated in blood pressure regulation. We therefore ascertained whether the PPARGC1 gene locus is associated with hypertension. We studied associations of 3 polymorphisms in PPARGC1 transcripts with hypertension in 683 middle-aged men and 530 middle-aged women of a cross-sectional Austrian population. Hypertension was defined by average values of systolic or diastolic ambulatory blood pressure readings (taken between 7 AM and 10 PM) above 140 and/or 90 and/or use of antihypertensive medication. Among the 3 polymorphic sites, genotype distributions associated with Gly482Ser differed by hypertension status in men (P=0.0038), but not in women. The less common Ser482 allele was associated with a modest, but significant, reduction in the prevalence of hypertension in men. The distribution of 3 loci haplotypes also differed in men with and without hypertension (P=0.015). Despite its moderate effect, but because of its high frequency (approximately 64%), the more common risk allele contributed to hypertension in 35% (95% CI 16% to 54%) of our male population. These results suggest, but do not prove, that PPARGC1 participates in blood pressure control, and sequence substitutions at its gene locus confer an increased risk of hypertension to a substantial proportion of men.
