Abstract: AIM: To study the relation of single nucleotide polymorphism of angiotensin Ⅱ receptor 2(AGTR2) A1675G with essential hypertension(EH) and antihypertensive response to valsartan.METHODS: Eighty case essential hypertension patients were received valsartan once daily for four weeks. Direct DNA sequencing was performed to detect the signgle nucleotide polymorphisms in eighty patients with essential hypertension and fourty normal blood pressure controls.RESULTS: There were significant differences of A1675G allele frequency between hypertensive group and normal controls(P<0.05).Treated with valsartan, patients with A allele had greater reduction in blood pressure (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The results indicates that the AGTR2 A1675G single nucleotide polymorphisms might involved the development of essential hypertension and it is associated with antihypertensive predictor of valartan.
