Abstract
Objective. To assess the contribution of the renin-angiotensin system, lipid metabolism and gene regulators of apoptosis in the development of hypertension and myocardial remodeling using sibling-pair and associative methods. Design and methods. Myocardial mass and myocardial mass index were calculated by echocardiography method, gene polymorphism was identified by polymerase chain reaction. Results. We found the association of genotype M235M AGT gene with hypertension in representatives of the Tatar ethnic group. Genotype A603A gene EAAT2 is associated with higher systolic blood pressure, and genotype CC rs189994 AIF gene is related to the greater myocardial mass in hypertensive patients.
