AbstractFibrinogen, a major determinant of blood viscosity, is an acute phase protein associated with cardiovascular disease. We studied the association of hypertension with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the gene encoding the fibrinogen β chain (FGB). Three tagging SNPs (rs1025154, rs4220 and rs1044291) were selected from the HapMap database on Han Chinese. Genotypes were determined in 1,294 unrelated subjects from the Hong Kong Cardiovascular Risk Factor Prevalence Study cohort. There were 199 hypertensive subjects at baseline. Among 1,095 subjects normotensive at baseline, 178 developed hypertension during a median follow-up period of 6.4 years. Among the three tagging SNPs, rs4220 showed significant association with hypertension at both baseline (odds ratio [OR]=1.49, p=0.004) and at follow-up (OR=1.32, p=0.013). The minor A allele of this SNP was associated with higher plasma fibrinogen level (β=0.144, p<0.001 at baseline and β=0.130, p<0.001 at follow-up). Among subjects normotensive at baseline, this SNP was also associated with the development of hypertension in men (OR=1.52, p=0.022), but not in women. The SNP rs4220 in FGB, which leads to the substitution of arginine by lysine at position 448, is independently associated with plasma fibrinogen level and hypertension in Hong Kong Chinese. This suggests a possible causal role of fibrinogen in hypertension development, especially in men. © Schattauer 2010.

Funding Information:

The Hong Kong Cardiovascular Risk Factor Prevalence Study-2 was funded by Hong Kong Research Grant Council grants (HKU7229/01M and HKU7626/07M), and the Sun Chieh Yeh Heart Foundation. The genotyping of SNPs in the FGB gene was supported by a grant from the National Natural Science Foundation of China/Research Grants Council of Hong Kong Joint Research Scheme (30518001/CO301070202 and HKU720/05).
