Association of a microsomal triglyceride transfer protein gene polymorphism with blood pressure in Japanese women.

International journal of molecular medicine - 1 Jan 2006

Yamada Yoshiji, Ando Fujiko, Shimokata Hiroshi

Abstract excerpt

Genetic variants of the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) have been associated with the serum concentration of low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, predisposition to coronary heart disease, or longevity. The relation of a -493Gright curved arrow T polymorphism in the promoter of MTP to blood pressure was examined in a population-based study. The subjects (1124 men, 1108 women) were aged 40-79 years...
