Aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) C-344T polymorphism affects the association of age-related changes of the serum C-reactive protein

Abstract: Aldosterone participates in vascular and myocardial inflammation either directly or indirectly through blood pressure (BP). Aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) C-344T polymorphism may influence the severity of systemic inflammation. A total of 398 Japanese Americans (152 men and 246 women, age 19-92 years) from the Hawaii-Los Angeles-Hiroshima study were enrolled. BP and serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured, and the CYP11B2 C-344T polymorphism, rs1799998, was determined. No influence of the polymo… Show more

“…On the other hand, the high level of CRP, a marker of inflammation, in patients with AF in our study, suggests that the CYP11B2-344C/T polymorphism may be involved in cardiac inflammation. This observation is in line with a previous study reporting that the CYP11B2-344C/T polymorphism had an influence on CRP levels in Japanese Americans (Oki et al, 2010).…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Aldosterone production has been reported to associate with variation at this locus [À344C/T, rs1799998]. 1 Moreover, clinically overt phenotypes that may be mediated by aldosterone have been linked to this SNP.…”

“…A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the promoter region of the gene encoding aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) has been reported to associate with a spectrum of human diseases and intermediate phenotypes. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Aldosterone production has been reported to associate with variation at this locus [À344C/T, rs1799998]. 1 Moreover, clinically overt phenotypes that may be mediated by aldosterone have been linked to this SNP.…”
