Abstract
The CFTR gene is associated with cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease primarily affecting the respiratory and digestive systems. Essential hypertension is a common cardiovascular disorder characterized by high blood pressure. In this bioinformatic analysis, various databases and tools were used to investigate the potential mechanisms underlying this association. Gene expression data and epigenetic analyses were used to identify the biological processes between CFTR and hypertension. Additionally, genetic variants within CFTR were analysed for potential effects on hypertension susceptibility. The results of this analysis suggest that CFTR may not play a role in hypertension. Moreover, hypertension has no special epigenetic feather. Further studies are needed to confirm the mechanisms of such a phenomenon.
