Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between myeloperoxidase (MPO) gene polymorphisms and carotid atherosclerosis (AS) in patients with essential hypertension (EH). A total of 214 patients with EH were divided into an AS and a non-atherosclerosis (non-AS) group. MPO gene polymorphisms in EH were detected using PCR. The frequency of increased intima-media thickness and the occurrence of plaque in the carotid artery in the AS group was higher compared to the non-AS group. The frequency of the GC genotype in the AS group was significantly higher compared to the non-AS group. The frequency of carotid AS is higher in patients with hypertension, which is related to the MPO gene polymorphism.
