RESUMEN
The study included pregnant women aged 23-41 years with preeclampsia and gestation-associated arterial hypertension at weeks 27-40 and patients with essential arterial hypertension developing under conditions of the metabolic syndrome and without it. Frequency analysis of polymorphisms of the renin-angiotensin system genes (ACE, AGT, and AGTR1), ITGB3, FTO and their associations confirmed the syndrome nature of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy. The presence allele T of AGT gene and/or allele C of AGTR1 gene in the genotype of patients with preeclampsia was associated with higher BP and pressure load over 24 h. Allele D of ACE gene was also essential for BP parameters (pressure load) in patients with preeclampsia and gestation-associated arterial hypertension. Due to high genetic heterogeneity of the preeclampsia syndrome and genetic differences in the incidence of the studied gene polymorphisms in preeclampsia and gestation-associated arterial hypertension, no direct associations between these gestation disorders and polymorphic markers of the renin-angiotensin system genes can be established. However, polymorphisms of the renin-angiotensin system genes are essential for the 24-h dynamics of BP and pressure load under conditions of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy.

Changes in the frequencies of genotypes and mutant alleles of ACE, AGTR1, AGT, and ITGB3 genes were analyzed in patients with arterial hypertension coupled with metabolic syndrome (N=15) and compared with population data and corresponding parameters in patients with isolated hypertension (N=15). Increased frequency of genotype ID of ACE gene (hypertension predictor) was confirmed for both groups. In case of isolated hypertension, M235M genotype (gene AGT) was more frequent, in case of hypertension combined with metabolic syndrome, the frequency of genotypes A1166C and C1166C of the gene AGTR1 was higher in comparison with population data. Comparison of mutant allele frequencies in the two groups showed that at the 90% significance level allele T of the AGT gene was more frequent in hypertension coupled with metabolic syndrome (OR=1.26) and genotype A1166A of the AGTR1 gene was more frequent in the group with isolated hypertension.
