A total of 816 unrelated Russian KEYWORDS individuals comprising 425 EH patients and 391 normotensive controls were included into the study. Arachidonic acid Genotyping of SNPs was performed using the MassARRAY 4 system. SNP rs7909236 of CYP2C8 was metabolism; CYP2C8; significantly associated with increased risk of EH (OR adjusted for sex and age was 2.99 95% CI 1.39-6.44, essential hypertension; P = 0.005). SNPs rs1934953 CYP2C8 and rs4244285 of CYP2C19 showed association with EH risk but at a epoxyeicosatrienoic acids; borderline statistical significance (P ≤ 0.04). Combination of genotypes CYP2C8 rs7909236 TT and genetic susceptibility; CYP2C19 rs4244285 GG was associated with increased EH risk (OR 3.34 95%CI 1.48-7.51, P = 0.004). single-nucleotide polymorphism Genotype–phenotype correlation analysis showed that the levels of CYP2C8 mRNA were significantly correlated with SNP rs7909236 (P = 0.01). in silico functional prediction analysis revealed the function- ality of majority of investigated SNPs. Thus, genes of CYP2C subfamily are important genetic determi- nants of susceptibility to essential hypertension in Russians.
