The GNB3 splice variant C825T （rs5443） is associated with risk for essential hypertension （EH） and efficacy of therapeutic drugs targeting GPCRs. It is unknown whether the polymorphism is associated with blood pressure （BP） response to telmisartan or amlodipine, two widely prescribed antihypertensive drugs. Methods： A total of 93 subjects initially diagnosed as EH were recruited and underwent a 4-week treatment with telmisartan （42 patients） or amlodipine （51 patients） monotherapy. Both baseline and after-treatment BP were measured. GNB3 C825T polymorphism was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Results： Baseline systolic BP （SBP） and diastolic BP （DBP） were comparable among C825T genotypes in both telmisartan and amlodipine treatment groups. Patients with the CT or TT genotypes showed significantly lower body mass index （BMI） as compared with CC homozygotes in both groups （P 〈 0.05, respectively）. GNB3 825TT homozygotes showed significantly higher alier-treatment DBP and mean arterial presstire （MAP） than those carrying at least one 825C allele （P 〈 0.01） in the telmisartan treatment group. No difference in after-treatment SBE DBP, and MAP levels among C825T genotypes was observed in the amlodipine treatment group. No significant difference in absolute changes in BP levels was observed among the genotypes in either treatment group. Conchlsion： The GNB3 C825T splice variant is associated with the DBP-lowering effect of telmisartan but not amlodipine in Chinese EH patients.展开更多
