Abstract

Lipid disorder is one of the main causes of essential hypertension. The polymorphism of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene was well-known to be related with the variants in the lipid profiles. Therefore, the study was targeted to determine the relationship between the polymorphism of CETP Taq1 B (rs708272) and evaluate its relationship with lipid profile levels among some hypertensive Iraqi patients. One hundred and seventy blood samples were collected from two groups, the first group included a hundred hypertensive patients and the second group included seventy healthy individuals as control group. For both groups, lipid profile was estimated, genomic DNA was extracted from all samples and Polymerase Chain Reaction - Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique was used to detect CETP gene Taq1 B polymorphism.  Results indicated that the concentrations of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), and very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL-C) had increased, whereas the concentration of high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) was decreased in hypertensive patients in comparison to control group. The study also showed a higher Frequency for the genotype B1B1 and the (B1) allele in hypertensive patients in compare with control group (p ≤ 0.01). Lipid profile concentrations according to CETP gene Taq1 B genotypes showed non-significant differences. The conclusion of this study was indicated that the polymorphism of CETP gene Taq1B may be related with lipid disorder and CETP (B1) allele which could be used as a genetic marker for increasing hypertensive susceptibility in Iraqi population.
