Background. Hypertension, including essential and secondary hypertension, is a multifactorial disease, affecting more than one billion people worldwide. Secondary hypertension can result from mutations of cullin-3 (CUL3); however, whether polymorphisms ofCUL3are associated with essential hypertension (EH) has not been reported. Here, we investigated the association betweenCUL3SNPs rs17479770 and rs3738952 and EH in the Chinese Han population.Methods. This case-control study investigated 520 representatives, including 259 patients with EH and 261 normotensive controls matched for age, gender, BMI, TG, TC, and HbA1c for the distribution of functional rs17479770 and rs3738952 within theCUL3gene by using PCR and RFLP.Results. Our results showed that there was no significant difference in allele and genotype distribution of rs3738952 and haplotype distribution of rs17479770 and rs3738952 between the EH group and normotensive group, whereas the rs17479770 TT genotype in male and the full data set were significantly associated with the decreased risk of EH (P=0.050,P=0.042), and rs17479770 allele T in male was shown to have the correlation tendency of the decreased risk of EH (P=0.064).Conclusion. Our data suggest that theCUL3rs17479770 variant could be a protective factor in the pathogenesis of EH.
