Association of CHI3L1 gene variants with YKL-40 levels and hypertension incidence: A population-based nested case-control study in China.

Abstract excerpt

YKL-40 was reported to be associated with the risk of hypertension. Whether the variants of CHI3L1 gene were associated with both YKL-40 levels and hypertension needs to be further elucidated. In a 1:1 matched case-control study of 507 pairs with available YKL-40 levels and DNA samples nested in a prospective cohort of Chinese subjects, the 15 tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CHI3L1 gene were...
