Method and kit for detecting a risk of essential arterial hypertension
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to the field of diagnosis of
cardiovascular diseases
(CVD) such as arterial hypertension (HT). More particularly, it provides a
method of
diagnosing or detecting a predisposition or propensity or susceptibility for
HT. Specifically,
the invention focuses on a method that comprises the steps of providing a
biological sample
from the subject to be tested and detecting the presence or absence of one or
several genomic
single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers in the biological sample.
Furthermore, the
invention utilizes both genetic and phenotypic information as well as
information obtained by
questionnaires to construct a score that provides the probability of
developing HT. In addition,
the invention provides a kit to perform the method. The kit can be used to set
an etiology-
based diagnosis of HT for targeting of treatment and preventive interventions
such as dietary
advice, as well as stratification of the subject in clinical trials testing
drugs and other
interventions.
Description of Related Art
Public health significance of CVD and HT
Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) (ICD/10 codes 100-199, Q20-Q28) include ischemic
(coronary) heart disease (IHD, CHD), hypertensive diseases, cerebrovascular
disease (stroke)
and rheumatic fever/rheumatic heart disease, among others (AHA, 2004). HT
(ICD/10 110-
115) is defined as systolic pressure of 140 mm Hg or higher, or diastolic
pressure of 90 mm
Hg or higher, or taking antihypertensive medicine (AHA, 2004). Apart from
being a CVD
itself, HT is a risk factor for other CVD, such as IHD, stroke and congestive
heart failure
(CHF). About half of those people who have a first heart attack and two thirds
of those who
have a first stroke, have blood pressure (BP) higher than 160/95 mm Hg. HT
precedes the
development of CHF in 91% of cases (AHA, 2004).
Of patients with HT, 90-95% have essential HT in which the underlying cause
remains
unknown. Essential HT refers to a lasting increase in BP with heterogeneous
genetic and
environmental causes. Its prevalence rises with age irrespective of the type
of BP
measurement and the operational thresholds used for diagnosis. HT aggregates
with other
cardiovascular risk factors such as abdominal obesity, dyslipidaemia, glucose
intolerance,
hyperinsulinaemia and hyperuricaemia, possibly because of a common underlying
cause
(Salonen JT et al, 1981, 1998, Staessen JA et al, 2003).
In 2001 an estimated 16.6 million - or one-third of total global deaths -
resulted from the
various forms of CVD (7.2 million due to HT, 5.5 million to cerebrovascular
disease, and an
additiona13.9 million to hypertensive and other heart conditions). At least 20
million people
survive heart attacks and strokes every year, a significant proportion of them
requiring costly
clinical care, putting a huge burden on long-term care resources. It is
necessary to recognize
that CVDs are devastating to men, women and children (AHA, 2004).

Around 80% of all CVD deaths worldwide took place in developing, low and
middle-income
countries. It is estimated that by 2010, CVD will be the leading cause of
death in both
developed and developing countries. The rise in CVDs reflects a significant
change in dietary
habits, physical activity levels, and tobacco consumption worldwide as a
result of
industrialization, urbanization, economic development and food market
globalization (WHO,
2004). This emphasizes the role of relatively modem environmental or
behavioral risk factors.
However, ethnic differences in the incidence and prevalence of CVD and the
enrichment of
CVD in families suggest that heritable risk factors play a major role.
In terms of disability measured in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) CVD
caused 9.7%
of global DALYs, 20.4% of DALYs in developed countries and 8.3% of DALYs in
the
developing countries. HT caused 1.4% of global DALYs, 4.7% of DALYs in
developed
countries and 0.9% of DALYs in the developing countries (Murray CJL and Lopez
AD,
1997).
On the basis of data from the NHANES III study (1988-1994), it is estimated
that in 2001,
64.4 million Americans were affected by some form of CVD, which corresponds to
a
prevalence of 22.6% (21.5% for males, 22.4% for females). Of these, 50 million
had HT (20%
prevalence). Of those with HT, 30% do not know they have HT; 34% are on
medication and
have HT controlled; 25% are on medication but do not have their HT under
control; and 11%
are not on medication (AHA, 2004). HT is also a public health problem in
developing
countries where prevalences of 10% or higher are common and it is frequently
associated with
low levels of awareness, treatment and control (Fuentes RM et al, 2000).
The cost of CVD in the United States in 2004 was estimated at $368.4 billion
($133.2 billion
for HT, $53.6 billion for stroke, $55.5 billion for hypertensive disease).
This figure includes
health expenditures (direct costs) and lost productivity resulting from
morbidity and mortality
(indirect costs) (AHA, 2004).
Pathophysiology of essential HT
The pressure required to move blood through the circulatory bed is provided by
the pumping
action of the heart [cardiac output (CO)] and the tone of the arteries
[peripheral resistance
(PR)]. Each of these primary determinants of BP is, in turn, determined by the
interaction of a
complex series of factors.
Factors affecting cardiac output
An increased CO has been found in some young, borderline hypertensives who may
display a
hyperkinetic circulation. If it is responsible for HT, the increase in CO
could logically arise in
two ways: either from an increase in fluid volume (preload) or from an
increase in
contractility from neural stimulation of the heart. However, even if it is
involved in the
initiation of HT, the increased CO probably does not persist. The typical
hemodynamic
finding in established HT is an elevated PR and normal CO (Cowley AW, 1992).
Although an increased heart rate may not simply be a reflection of a
hyperdynamic circulation
or an indicator of increased sympathetic activity, multiple epidemiologic
surveys have shown
that an elevated heart rate is an independent predictor of the development of
HT (Palatini P
and Julius S, 1999).
Left ventricular hypertrophy has generally been considered a compensatory
mechanism to an
increased vascular resistance. However, it could also reflect a primary
response to repeated
CA 02587979 2007-05-18
WO 2006/053955 PCT/F12005/050429
3
neural stimulation and, thereby, could be an initiating mechanism for HT
(Julius S et al.,
1991 c) as well as an amplifier of CO that reinforces the elevation of BP from
arterial
stiffening (Segers P et al., 2000).
Another mechanism that could induce HT by increasing CO would be an increased
circulating
fluid volume (preload). However, in most studies, subjects with high BP have a
lower blood
volume and total exchangeable sodium than normal subjects (Harrap SB et al.,
2000). Even
without an expanded total volume, blood may be redistributed so that more is
in the central or
cardiopulmonary section because of greater peripheral vasoconstriction
(Schobel HP et al.,
1993). Venous return to the heart would thereby be increased and could mediate
an increased
CO.
Excess sodium intake induces HT by increasing fluid volume and preload,
thereby increasing
CO (Chobanian AV and Hill M, 2000). Both experimental data (Tobian L, 1991)
and
epidemiologic evidence (Stamler J et al., 1997) support a close association
between HT and a
high sodium-potassium ratio in humans. Because almost everyone in
industrialized societies
ingests a high-sodium diet, the fact that only about half will develop HT
suggests a variable
degree of BP sensitivity to sodium (Weinberger MH, 1996).
In healthy people, when BP increases, renal excretion of sodium and water
increases,
shrinking fluid volume and returning the BP to normal - this phenomenon is
pressure-
natriuresis. On the basis of animal experiments and computer models, the
regulation of body
fluid volume by the kidneys is considered to be the dominant mechanism for the
long-term
control of BP (Guyton AC 1961, 1992). Therefore, if HT develops, something
must be wrong
with the pressure-natriuresis control mechanism; otherwise the BP would return
to normal
(Cowley AW and Roman RJ, 1996). In patients with primary HT a resetting of the
pressure-
sodium excretion curve prevents the return of BP to normal (Palmer BF, 2001).
The shift in
pressure-natriuresis requires increased BP to maintain fluid balance. The
pressure-natriuresis
relationship can be modified by neural and humoral factors including the renin-
angiotensin
system (RAS), sympathetic nervous activity, atrial natriuretic factor,
metabolites of
arachidonic acid, and intrarenal nitric oxide (Moreno C et al., 2001; Majid DS
et al., 2001).
The major modifier is likely to be theRAS (Hall JE et al., 1999; van Paassen P
et al., 2000),
with an increase in renal sodium reabsorption occurring at concentrations of
Angiotensin II
much below those needed for peripheral vasoconstriction. Angiotensin II acts
not only on
vascular smooth muscle and the adrenal cortex but also within the heart,
kidneys, and central
and autonomic nervous systems. These actions amplify its volume-retaining and
vasoconstrictive effects on the peripheral vascular system, thus affecting
both CO and PR.
Furthermore, Angiotensin II induces cell growth and hypertrophy independent of
its effect on
BP (Su EJ et al., 1998). Moreover, Angiotensin II appears to induce an
inflammatory response
in vascular smooth muscle cells (Kranzhofer R et al., 1999), with activation
of nuclear factor
k-B (Luft FC, 2001) and adhesion molecule-1 expression (Tummala PE et al.,
1999), which
may serve as direct links to atherosclerosis.
Stress may activate the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) directly; and SNS
overactivity, in
turn, may interact with high sodium intake, the RAS, and insulin resistance,
among other
possible mechanisms. Considerable evidence supports increased SNS activity in
early HT
(Esler M et al., 2001) and, even more impressively, in the still-normotensive
offspring of
hypertensive parents, of whom a large number are likely to develop HT.
Whatever the
specific role of SNS activity in the pathogenesis of HT, it appears to be
involved in the
increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality that afflicts hypertensive
patients during the
CA 02587979 2007-05-18
WO 2006/053955 PCT/F12005/050429
4
early morning hours. Epinephrine levels begin to increase after awakening and
norepinephrine
rises sharply on standing (Dodt C et al., 1997). As a consequence of the
increased SNS
activity, BP rises suddenly and markedly, and this rise is at least partly
responsible for the
increase in sudden death, heart attack, and stroke during the early morning
hours. Increased
sympathetic activity is probably also responsible for the increased heart rate
present in many
hypertensives that was previously noted to be associated with increased
cardiovascular
mortality.
Factors affecting peripheral resistance
HT is maintained by increased PR, largely due to decreased arterial lumen size
or radius.
According to Poiseuille's law, vascular resistance is positively related to
both the viscosity of
blood and the length of the arterial system, and negatively related to the
third power of the
luminal radius. Because neither viscosity nor length is altered much if at
all, and because
small changes in the luminal radius can have a major effect, it is apparent
that the increased
vascular resistance seen in established HT must reflect changes in the calibre
of the small
resistance arteries and arterioles (Folkow B et al., 1970). Because of the
increased wall
thickness-lumen diameter ratio, higher wall stress and intraluminal pressure
develop when
resistance vessels are stimulated.
In HT, small arteries undergo functional, structural and mechanical changes,
resulting in
reduced lumen size and increased peripheral resistance (Mulvany MJ, 2002;
Intengan HD and
Schiffrin EL. 2001). Functional alterations include enhanced reactivity or
impaired relaxation,
and reflect changes in excitation-contraction coupling, altered electrical
properties of vascular
smooth muscle cells, or endothelial dysfunction (Johns DG et al, 2000; Feldman
RD and Gros
R, 1998). Major structural changes include remodelling due to increased cell
growth,
extracellular matrix deposition and inflammation (Mulvany MJ, 2002; Intengan
HD and
Schiffrin EL, 2001; Brasier AR, 2002). Vascular smooth muscle cells are
central to these
events and play a fundamental role in the dynamic processes underlying the
alterations that
occur in HT.
Vascular changes in HT are associated with humoral and mechanical factors that
modulate
signalling events, resulting in abnormal function and growth of cellular
components of the
media (Touyz RM, 2000; Koller A, 2002). The humoral factors that regulate
arteries in HT
include vasoconstrictor agents such as angiotensin II, endothelin-1,
catecholamines and
vasopressin; vasodilator agents such as nitric oxide, endothelium-derived
hyperpolarizing
factor and natriuretic peptides; growth factors such as insulin-like growth
factor-1, platelet-
derived growth factor (PDGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF) and basic
fibroblast growth
factor; and cytokines such as transforming growth factor-[beta], tumour
necrosis factor and
interleukins (Touyz RM, 2000). Mechanical factors that influence the
vasculature in HT
include shear stress, wall stress and the direct actions of pressure itself
(Touyz RM, 2000;
Koller A, 2002). In addition to these factors, there is growing evidence that
reactive oxygen
species (ROS) that act as intercellular and intracellular signalling
molecules, regulate vascular
tone and structure (Wilcox CS, 2002; Berry C et al, 2001).
A recent advance in the field of angiotensin II signalling was the
demonstration that, in
addition to its vasoconstrictor properties, angiotensin II has potent
mitogenic-like and
proinflammatory-like characteristics. These actions are mediated through
phosphorylation of
both nonreceptor tyrosine kinases and receptor tyrosine kinases (Touyz RM,
2003). It is also
becoming increasingly apparent that many signalling events that underlie
abnormal vascular
function in HT are influenced by changes in intracellular redox status. In
particular, increased
bioavailability of ROS stimulates growth-signalling pathways, induces
expression of
CA 02587979 2007-05-18
WO 2006/053955 PCT/F12005/050429
proinflammatory genes, alters contraction-excitation coupling and impairs
endothelial
function (Touyz RM, 2003).
In concert with the various functional and structural changes that are
responsible for HT, the
arteries become stiffer or less elastic. Vascular stiffness progressively
increases with age
5 (Slotwiner DJ et al., 2001) and is responsible for the progressive increase
in systolic as
compared to diastolic pressure, leading to the typical increase of pulse
pressure that is now
recognized to be the major determinant of cardiovascular risk (Beltran A et
al., 2001).
Measures of stiffness and elasticity have been shown to be an independent
predictor of the
development of HT (Liao D et al., 1999) and a marker of cardiovascular risk in
those with HT
(Blacher J et al., 1999). Changes in the physical characteristics of the large
arteries reflected
in the BP pulse contour alter not only BP and pulse pressure, but also cardiac
work and
performance.
The complexity of pathophysiologic mechanisms that lead to BP elevation is
such that
selective, mechanistically based antihypertensive treatment is rarely possible
in any
hypertensive patient. HT is highly prevalent among middle-aged and elderly
persons, and the
success rate in controlling BP in these individuals is poor. Current treatment
guidelines
generally recommend a generic approach to treating HT, with little emphasis on
selecting
therapy on the basis of the underlying pathophysiology of the elevated BP
(Chobanian AV et
al, 2003; ESH/ESC, 2003). With increased recognition of specific causes, it
may be possible
to develop therapies selective for distinct pathophysiologic mechanisms with
fewer adverse
effects, resulting in more effective BP reduction. The use of powerful new
techniques of
genetics, genomics, and proteomics, integrated with systems physiology and
population
studies, will make more selective and effective approaches to treating and
even preventing HT
possible in the coming decades (Oparil S et al, 2003).
Essential HT: a polygenic disease
Nuclear family studies show greater similarity in BP within families than
between families,
with heritability estimates ranging between 0.20 and 0.46 (Fuentes RM, 2003).
Twin studies
document greater concordance of BP in monozygotic than dizygotic twins, giving
the highest
heritability estimates between 0.48 and 0.64 (Fuentes RM, 2003). Adoption
studies
demonstrate greater concordance of BP among biological siblings than adoptive
siblings
living in the same household, estimating heritability between 0.45 and 0.61
(Fuentes RM,
2003).
Single genes can have major effects on BP, accounting for the rare Mendelian
forms of high
and low BP (Lifton RP et al, 2001). Although identifiable single-gene
mutations account for
only a small percentage of HT cases, studying these rare disorders may
elucidate
pathophysiologic mechanisms that predispose to more common forms of HT and may
suggest
novel therapeutic approaches (Lifton RP et al, 2001). Mutations in 10 genes
that cause
Mendelian forms of human HT and 9 genes that cause hypotension have been
described to
date (Lifton RP et al, 2001; Wilson FH et al, 2001). These mutations affect BP
by altering
renal salt handling, reinforcing the hypothesis that the development of HT
depends on
genetically determined renal dysfunction with resultant salt and water
retention (Guyton AC,
1991). Importantly, all the monogenic HT syndromes identified to date are
caused by defects
resulting in renal salt retention, whereas all the low BP syndromes share a
common
mechanism of excess renal sodium loss (Hopkins PN and Hunt SC, 2003).
The best studied monogenic cause of HT is the Liddle syndrome, a rare but
clinically
important disorder in which constitutive activation of the epithelial sodium
channel
CA 02587979 2007-05-18
WO 2006/053955 PCT/F12005/050429
6
predisposes to severe, treatment-resistant HT (Shimkets RA et al, 1994).
Epithelial sodium
channel activation has been traced to mutations in the beta or gamma subunits
of the channel,
resulting in inappropriate sodium retention at the renal collecting duct
level. Patients with the
Liddle syndrome typically display volume-dependent, low-renin, and low-
aldosterone HT.
In most cases, HT results from a complex interaction of genetic,
environmental, and
demographic factors. Improved techniques of genetic analysis, especially
candidate gene
association studies and genome wide linkage analysis (genome wide scan, GWS),
have
enabled a search for genes that contribute to the development of primary HT in
the
population.
Thus far, the candidate gene approach has provided more examples than the
linkage approach
of gene variants that appear to affect BP. Reasonable candidate genes to
consider include
genes related to physiological systems known to be involved in the control of
BP and genes
known to affect BP in mouse models. To date more than 80 candidate genes have
been
evaluated for HT (Fuentes RM, 2004, unpublished review). However, the
association with HT
of only three genes have been widely replicated: angiotensinogen precursor
(AGT), adducin 1
(ADD1) and guanine nucleotide-binding protein, beta-3 subunit (GNB3) (Hopkins
PN and
Hunt SC, 2003). Gene-environment interactions affecting HT treatment have been
shown
between AGT, ADD1 and salt intake reduction (Hunt SC et al, 1998; Hunt SC et
al, 1999;
Cusi D et al, 1997), and between ADD1, GNB3 and diuretic treatment (Cusi D et
al, 1997;
Turner ST et al, 2001). Gene-gene interactions affecting HT risk development
have been
shown between ADD1 and the ACE gene I/D polymorphisms (Staessen JA et al,
2001).
Lessons learned from the studies of candidate genes to date include the
shortcomings that
result from the limited statistical power of many studies, expected variation
from one
population to another, the need for better phenotyping of study subjects, the
relatively small
effect of the genes studied on population prevalence of HT, and the lack of
sufficient certainty
of consequences of any genes studied thus far to make treatment
recommendations based on
genotype (Hopkins PN and Hunt SC, 2003).
To date more than 30 GWS studies have been reported to identify loci for BP/HT
(Fuentes
RM, 2004, unpublished review).Some studies utilized families, others affected
or dissimilar
sibling pairs. Linked loci with at least indicative LOD scores to BP/HT have
been observed
on every chromosome. Perhaps most striking is the lack of consistently linked
loci.
Koivukoski L et al, 2004 found evidence of susceptibility regions for BP/HT on
chromosomes
2p12-q22.1 and 3p14.1-q12.3 that had modest or non-significant linkage in each
individual
study when applying the genome-search meta-analysis method (GSMA) to nine
published
genome-wide scans of BP (n = 5) and HT (n = 4) from Caucasian populations.
This may serve
to illustrate the heterogeneity of human HT as well as the potential
shortcomings of
attempting to compare studies using different methodologies.
Opportunity for population genetics
Previous medical research concerning the genetic etiology of HT has been based
to a large
extent on retrospective case-control and family studies in humans and studies
in genetically
modified animals. As recognized only recently, retrospective case-control
studies are prone to
survival and selection biases, and they have produced a myriad of biased
findings concerning
a large number of candidate genes. A commonly used approach is to compare gene
expression
between affected and unaffected persons. Gene expression studies, which are
mostly cross-
CA 02587979 2007-05-18
WO 2006/053955 PCT/F12005/050429
7
sectional, cannot however separate cause and consequence. Findings from animal
models
concerning HT cannot be generalised to humans, as the pathophysiology in
humans is unique.
The unsuitability of the animal studies is the main reason why genetic
epidemiologic studies
are the most important means in the clarification of genetic etiologies of
human diseases.
Prospective cohort studies in humans overcome these problems. Developments in
GWS and
sequencing technology and methods of data analysis render possible the attempt
to identify
liability genes in complex, multifactorial traits, and to dissect the role of
genetic
predisposition and environment/life style factors in these disorders with new
precision.
Genetic and environmental effects vary over the life span, and only
longitudinal studies in
genetically informative data sets permit the study of such effects. A major
advantage of
population genetics approaches in disease gene discovery over other
methodologies is that it
will yield diagnostic markers that are valid in humans.
The identification of genes causing major public health problems such as HT is
now enabled
by the following recent advances in molecular biology, population genetics and
bioinformatics: 1. the availability of new genotyping platforms that will
dramatically lower
operating costs and increase throughputs; 2. the application of genome scans
using dense
marker maps; 3. data analysis using new powerful statistical methods testing
for linkage
disequilibrium using haplotype sharing analysis, and 4. the recognition that a
smaller number
of genetic markers than previously thought is sufficient for genome scans in
genetically
homogeneous populations.
Traditional GWS using microsatellite markers with linkage analyses have not
been successful
in finding genes causing common diseases. The failure has in part been due to
too small a
number of genetic markers used in GWS, and in part due to too heterogeneous
study
populations. With the advancements of the human genome project and genotyping
technology, the first dense marker maps have recently become available for
mapping the
entire human genome. The microarrays used by Jurilab include probes for over
100,000 single
nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. These SNPs form a marker map covering,
for the
first time, the entire genome tightly enough for the discovery of most disease
genes causing
HT.
Genetic homogeneity of the East Finland founder population
Finns descend from two human immigration waves occurring about 4,000 and 2,000
years
ago. Both Y-chromosomal haplotypes and mitochondrial sequences show low
genetic
diversity among Finns compared with other European populations and confirm the
long-
standing isolation of Finland (Sajantila A et al, 1996). During King Gustavus
of Vasa (1523-
1560) over 400 years ago, internal migrations created regional subisolates,
the late settlements
(Peltonen L et al, 1999). The most isolated of these are the East Finns.
The East Finnish population is the most genetically-homogenous population
isolate known
that is large enough for effective gene discovery program. The reasons for
homogeneity are:
the young age of the population (fewer generations); the small number of
founders; long-term
geographical isolation; and population bottlenecks because of wars, famine and
fatal disease
epidemics.
Owing to the genetic homogeneity of the East Finland population, there are
fewer mutations
in important disease predisposing genes and the affected individuals share a
similar genetic

background. Because of the stronger linkage disequilibrium (LD), fewer SNPs
and fewer
subjects are needed for GWS than in other populations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers,
combinations of such markers and haplotypes associated with altered risk of
HT, and genes
associated with HT within or close to which said markers or haplotypes are
located. Said SNP
markers may be associated either with increased HT risk or reduced HT risk
i.e. protective of
HT. The "prediction" or risk implies here that the risk is either increased or
reduced.
Thus, the present invention provides individual SNP markers associated with HT
and
combinations of SNP markers and haplotypes in genetic regions associated with
HT, genes
previously known in the art, but not known to be associated with HT, methods
of estimating
susceptibility or predisposition of an individual to HT, as well as methods
for prediction of
clinical course and efficacy of treatments for HT using polymorphisms in the
HT risk genes.
Accordingly, the present invention provides novel methods and compositions
based on the
disclosed HT associated SNP markers, combinations of SNP markers, haplotypes
and genes.
The invention further relates to a method for estimating susceptibility or
predisposition of an
individual to HT comprising the detection of the presence of SNP markers and
haplotypes, or
an alteration in expression of an HT risk gene set forth in tables 2 through
8, as well as
alterations in the polypeptides encoded by the said HT risk genes. The
alterations may be
quantitative, qualitative, or both.
The invention yet further relates to a method for estimating susceptibility or
predisposition of
an individual to HT. The method for estimating susceptibility or
predisposition of an
individual to HT is comprised of detecting the presence of at-risk haplotypes
in an
individual's nucleic acid.
The invention further relates to a kit for estimating susceptibility to HT in
an individual
comprising wholly or in part: amplification reagents for amplifying nucleic
acid fragments
containing SNP markers, detection reagents for genotyping SNP markers and
interpretation
software for data analysis and risk assessment.
In one aspect, the invention relates to methods of diagnosing a predisposition
to HT. The
methods of diagnosing a predisposition to HT in an individual include
detecting the presence
of SNP markers predicting HT, as well as detecting alterations in expression
of genes which
are associated with said markers. The alterations in expression can be
quantitative, qualitative,
or both.
A further object of the present invention is a method of identifying the risk
of HT by detecting
SNP markers in a biological sample of the subject. The information obtained
from this
method can be combined with other information concerning an individual, e.g.
results from
blood measurements, clinical examination and questionnaires. The blood
measurements
include but are not restricted to the determination of plasma or serum
cholesterol and high-
density lipoprotein cholesterol. The information to be collected by
questionnaire includes
information concerning gender, age, family and medical history such as the
family history of
HT and diabetes. Clinical information collected by examination includes e.g.
information
CA 02587979 2007-05-18
WO 2006/053955 PCT/F12005/050429
9
concerning height, weight, hip and waist circumference, systolic and diastolic
BP, and heart
rate.
The methods of the invention allow the accurate diagnosis of HT at or before
disease onset,
thus reducing or minimizing the debilitating effects of HT. The method can be
applied in
persons who are free of clinical symptoms and signs of HT, in those who
already have clinical
HT, in those who have a family history of HT, or in those who have an elevated
level or levels
of risk factors of HT.
The invention further provides a method of diagnosing susceptibility to HT in
an individual.
This method comprises screening for at-risk haplotypes that predict HT that
are more
frequently present in an individual susceptible to HT, compared to the
frequency of its
presence in the general population, wherein the presence of an at-risk
haplotype is indicative
of a susceptibility to HT. The "at-risk haplotype" may also be associated with
a reduced rather
than increased risk of HT. An "at-risk haplotype" is intended to embrace one
or a combination
of haplotypes described herein over the markers that show high correlation to
HT. Kits for
diagnosing susceptibility to HT in an individual are also disclosed.
Those skilled in the art will readily recognize that the analysis of the
nucleotides present in
one or several of the SNP markers of this invention in an individual's nucleic
acid can be
done by any method or technique capable of determining nucleotides present in
a
polymorphic site. As it is obvious in the art the nucleotides present in SNP
markers can be
determined from either nucleic acid strand or from both strands.
The major application of the current invention involves prediction of those at
higher risk of
developing HT. Diagnostic tests that define genetic factors contributing to HT
might be used
together with or independent of the known clinical risk factors to define an
individual's risk
relative to the general population. Better means for identifying those
individuals at risk of HT
should lead to better preventive and treatment regimens, including more
aggressive
management of the current clinical risk factors for sequelae of HT such as
cigarette smoking,
hypercholesterolemia, elevated LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, HT and
elevated BP,
diabetes mellitus, glucose intolerance, insulin resistance and the metabolic
syndrome, obesity,
lack of physical activity, and inflammatory components as reflected by
increased C-reactive
protein levels or other inflammatory markers. Information on genetic risk may
be used by
physicians to help convince particular patients to adjust life style (e.g. to
stop smoking, reduce
caloric intake, to increase exercise). Finally, preventive measures aimed at
lowering blood
pressure such as reduction of weight, intake of salt and alcohol, can be both
better motivated
to the patients and selected on the basis of the molecular subdiagnosis of HT.
A further object of the invention is to provide a method for the selection of
human subjects for
studies testing antihypertensive effects of drugs.
Another object of the invention is a method for the selection of subjects for
clinical trials
testing antihypertensive drugs.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a method for prediction of
clinical course
and efficacy of treatments for HT using polymorphisms in the HT risk genes.
The genes, gene
products and agents of the invention are also useful for treating HT, for
monitoring the
effectiveness of the treatment, and for drug development. Kits are also
provided for the
diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of HT.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Representative Target Population
5
An individual at risk of HT is an individual who has at least one risk factor
of HT, such as
family history of HT, central or other type of obesity, lack of physical
activity, high sodium
intake, high intake of saturated fats, low intake of potassium and/or
magnesium, low HDL
cholesterol, diabetes mellitus, glucose intolerance, insulin resistance and
the metabolic
10 syndrome, elevated inflammatory marker, and an at-risk allele or haplotype
with one or
several HT risk SNP markers.
In another embodiment of the invention, an individual who is at risk of HT is
an individual
who has a risk-increasing allele in an HT risk gene, in which the presence of
the
polymorphism is indicative of a susceptibility to HT. The term "gene," as used
herein, refers
to an entirety containing all regulatory elements located both upstream and
downstream as
well as within of a polypeptide encoding sequence, 5' and 3' untranslated
regions of mRNA
and the entire polypeptide encoding sequence including all exon and intron
sequences (also
alternatively spliced exons and introns) of a gene.
Assessment for At-Risk Alleles and At-Risk Haplotypes
The genetic markers are particular "alleles" at "polymorphic sites" associated
with HT. A
nucleotide position at which more than one sequence is possible in a
population, is referred to
herein as a "polymorphic site". Where a polymorphic site is a single
nucleotide in length, the
site is referred to as a SNP. For example, if at a particular chromosomal
location, one member
of a population has an adenine and another member of the population has a
thymine at the
same position, then this position is a polymorphic site, and, more
specifically, the
polymorphic site is a SNP. Polymorphic sites may be several nucleotides in
length due to
insertions, deletions, conversions or translocations. Each version of the
sequence with respect
to the polymorphic site is referred to herein as an "allele" of the
polymorphic site. Thus, in the
previous example, the SNP allows for both an adenine allele and a thymine
allele.
Typically, a reference nucleotide sequence is referred to for a particular
gene. Alleles that
differ from the reference are referred to as "variant" alleles. The
polypeptide encoded by the
reference nucleotide sequence is the "reference" polypeptide with a particular
reference amino
acid sequence, and polypeptides encoded by variant alleles are referred to as
"variant"
polypeptides with variant amino acid sequences.
Nucleotide sequence variants can result in changes affecting the properties of
a polypeptide.
These sequence differences, when compared to a reference nucleotide sequence,
include
insertions, deletions, conversions and substitutions: e.g. an insertion, a
deletion or a
conversion may result in a frame shift generating an altered polypeptide; a
substitution of at
least one nucleotide may result in a premature stop codon, aminoacid change or
abnormal
mRNA splicing; the deletion of several nucleotides, resulting in a deletion of
one or more
amino acids encoded by the nucleotides; the insertion of several nucleotides,
such as by
unequal recombination or gene conversion, resulting in an interruption of the
coding sequence
of a reading frame; duplication of all or a part of a sequence; transposition;
or a rearrangement

of a nucleotide sequence, as described in detail above. Such sequence changes
alter the
polypeptide encoded by an HT susceptibility gene. For example, a nucleotide
change in a
gene resulting in a change in corresponding polypeptide aminoacid sequence can
alter the
physiological properties of a polypeptide resulting in a polypeptide having
altered biological
activity/function, distribution or stability.
Alternatively, nucleotide sequence variants can result in changes affecting
transcription of a
gene or translation of it's mRNA. A polymorphic site located in a regulatory
region of a gene
may result in altered transcription of a gene e.g. due to altered tissue
specifity, altered
transcription rate or altered response to transcription factors. A polymorphic
site located in a
region corresponding to the mRNA of a gene may result in altered translation
of the mRNA
e.g. by inducing stable secondary structures to the mRNA and affecting the
stability of the
mRNA. Such sequence changes may alter the expression of an HT susceptibility
gene.
A "haplotype," as described herein, refers to any combination of genetic
markers ("alleles"),
such as those set forth in tables 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8. A haplotype can comprise
two or more alleles.
As it is recognized by those skilled in the art, the same haplotype can be
described differently
by determining the haplotype defining alleles from different strands e.g. the
haplotype
rs222151 1, rs4940595, rs1522723, rs1395266 (A T C C) described in this
invention is the
same as haplotype rs222151 1, rs4940595, rs1522723, rs1395266 (T A G G) in
which the
alleles are determined from the other strand or haplotype rs222151 1,
rs4940595, rs1522723,
rs1395266 (T T C C), in which the first allele is determined from the other
strand.
The haplotypes described herein, e.g. having markers such as those shown in
tables 3, 4, 5, 7
and 8, are found more frequently in individuals with HT than in individuals
without HT.
Therefore, these haplotypes have predictive value for detecting HT or a
susceptibility to HT in
an individual. Therefore, detecting haplotypes can be accomplished by methods
known in the
art for detecting sequences at polymorphic sites.
It is understood that the HT associated at-risk alleles and at-risk haplotypes
described in this
invention may be associated with other "polymorphic sites" located in HT
associated genes of
this invention. These other HT associated polymorphic sites may be either
equally useful as
genetic markers or even more useful as causative variations explaining the
observed
association of the at-risk alleles and at-risk haplotypes of this invention to
HT.
In certain methods described herein, an individual who is at risk of HT is an
individual in
whom an at-risk allele or an at-risk haplotype is identified. In one
embodiment, the at-risk
allele or the at-risk haplotype is one that confers a significant risk of HT.
In one embodiment,
significance associated with an allele or a haplotype is measured by an odds
ratio. In a further
embodiment, the significance is measured by a percentage. In one embodiment, a
significant
risk is measured as an odds ratio of at least about 1.2, including but not
limited to: 0.1, 0.2,
0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9,
2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 10.0,
15.0, 20.0, 25.0, 30.0 and 40Ø In a further embodiment, a significant
increase or reduction in
risk is at least about 20%, including but not limited to about 25%, 30%, 35%,
40%, 45%,
50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95% and 98%. In a further
embodiment, a
significant increase in risk is at least about 50%. It is understood however,
that identifying
whether a risk is medically significant may also depend on a variety of
factors, including the
specific disease, the allele or the haplotype, and often, environmental
factors.

An at-risk haplotype in, or comprising portions of, the HT risk gene, is one
where the
haplotype is more frequently present in an individual at risk of HT
(affected), compared to the
frequency of its presence in a healthy individual (control), and wherein the
presence of the
haplotype is indicative of HT or susceptibility to HT.
In a preferred embodiment, the method comprises assessing in an individual the
presence or
frequency of SNPs in, comprising portions of, an HT risk gene, wherein an
excess or higher
frequency of the SNPs compared to healthy control individuals is indicative
that the
individual has HT, or is susceptible to HT. See, for example, tables 3, 4, 5,
7 and 8 for SNPs
that can form haplotypes that can be used as screening tools. These SNP
markers can be
identified in at-risk haploptypes. For example, an at-risk haplotype can
include microsatellite
markers and/or SNPs such as those set forth in tables 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8. The
presence of the
haplotype is indicative of HT, or a susceptibility to HT, and therefore is
indicative of an
individual who falls within a target population for the treatment methods
described herein.

Monitoring Progress of Treatment
The current invention also pertains to methods of monitoring the effectiveness
of a treatment
of HT on the expression (e.g. relative or absolute expression) of one or more
HT risk genes.
The HT susceptibility gene mRNA, the polypeptide it is encoding, or the
biological activity of
the encoded polypeptide can be measured in a sample of peripheral blood or
cells derived
therefrom. An assessment of the levels of expression or biological activity of
the polypeptide
can be made before and during treatment with HT therapeutic agents.
Alternatively the effectiveness of a treatment of HT can be followed by
monitoring biological
networks and/or metabolic pathways related to one or several polypeptides
encoded by HT
risk genes listed in table 6. Monitoring biological networks and/or metabolic
pathways can be
done e.g. by measuring one or several polypeptides from plasma proteome and/or
by
measuring one or several metabolites from plasma metabolome before and during
treatment.
Effectiveness of a treatment is evaluated by comparing observed changes in
biological
networks and or metabolic pathways following treatment with HT therapeutic
agents to the
data available from healthy subjects.
For example, in one embodiment of the invention, an individual who is a member
of the target
population can be assessed for response to treatment with an HT inhibitor, by
examining the
HT risk gene encoding polypeptide biological activity or absolute and/or
relative levels of HT
risk gene encoding polypeptide or mRNA in peripheral blood in general or
specific cell
subfractions or combination of cell subfractions.
In addition, variations such as haplotypes or mutations within or near (within
one to hundreds
of kb) the HT risk gene may be used to identify individuals who are at higher
risk for HT to
increase the power and efficiency of clinical trials for pharmaceutical agents
to prevent or
treat HT or its complications. The haplotypes and other variations may be used
to exclude or
fractionate patients in a clinical trial who are likely to have involvement of
another pathway in
their HT in order to enrich patients who have pathways involved that are
relevant regarding to
the treatment tested and boost the power and sensitivity of the clinical
trial. Such variations
may be used as a pharmacogenetic test to guide selection of pharmaceutical
agents for
individuals.
Primers, probes and nucleic acid molecules
"Probes" or "primers" are oligonucleotides that hybridize in a base-specific
manner to a
complementary strand of nucleic acid molecules. "Base specific manner" means
that the two
sequences must have a degree of nucleotide complementarity sufficient for the
primer or
probe to hybridize. Accordingly, the primer or probe sequence is not required
to be perfectly
complementary to the sequence of the template. Non-complementary bases or
modified bases
can be interspersed into the primer or probe, provided that base substitutions
do not inhibit
CA 02587979 2007-05-18
WO 2006/053955 PCT/F12005/050429
14
hybridization. The nucleic acid template may also include "nonspecific priming
sequences" or
"nonspecific sequences" to which the primer or probe has varying degrees of
complementarity. Such probes and primers include polypeptide nucleic acids
(Nielsen PE et
al, 1991).
A probe or primer comprises a region of nucleic acid that hybridizes to at
least about 15, for
example about 20-25, and in certain embodiments about 40, 50, or 75
consecutive nucleotides
of a nucleic acid of the invention, such as a nucleic acid comprising a
contiguous nucleic acid
sequence.
In preferred embodiments, a probe or primer comprises 100 or fewer
nucleotides, in certain
embodiments, from 6 to 50 nucleotides, for example, from 12 to 30 nucleotides.
In other
embodiments, the probe or primer is at least 70% identical to the contiguous
nucleic acid
sequence or to the complement of the contiguous nucleotide sequence, for
example, at least
80% identical, in certain embodiments at least 90% identical, and in other
embodiments at
least 95% identical, or even capable of selectively hybridizing to the
contiguous nucleic acid
sequence or to the complement of the contiguous nucleotide sequence. Often,
the probe or
primer further comprises a label, e.g. radioisotope, fluorescent compound,
enzyme, or enzyme
co-factor.
Antisense nucleic acid molecules of the invention can be designed using the
nucleotide
sequences available e.g. in GenBank database for HT associated genes of table
6 as well as
nucleotide sequences containing polymorphic sites listed in tables 2 to 5 and
7 to 11.
Antisense oligonucleotides can be constructed using chemical synthesis and
enzymatic
ligation reactions using procedures known in the art. For example, an
antisense nucleic acid
molecule (e.g. an antisense oligonucleotide) can be chemically synthesized
using naturally
occurring nucleotides or variously modified nucleotides designed to increase
the biological
stability of the molecules or to increase the physical stability of the duplex
formed between
the antisense and sense nucleic acids, e.g. phosphorothioate derivatives and
acridine
substituted nucleotides can be used. Alternatively, the antisense nucleic acid
molecule can be
produced biologically using an expression vector into which a nucleic acid
molecule has been
subcloned in an antisense orientation (i.e. RNA transcribed from the inserted
nucleic acid
molecule will be of an antisense orientation to a target nucleic acid of
interest).
The nucleic acid sequences of the HT associated genes of table 6 described in
this invention
can also be used to compare with endogenous DNA sequences in patients to
identify genetic
disorders (e.g. a predisposition for, or susceptibility to HT), and as probes,
such as to
hybridize and discover related DNA sequences or to extract known sequences
from a sample.
The nucleic acid sequences can further be used to derive primers for genetic
fmgerprinting, to
raise anti-polypeptide antibodies using DNA immunization techniques, and as an
antigen to
raise anti-DNA antibodies or elicit immune responses. Portions or fragments of
the nucleotide
sequences identified herein (and the corresponding complete gene sequences)
can be used in
numerous ways as polynucleotide reagents. For example, these sequences can be
used to: (i)
map their respective genes on a chromosome; and thus locate gene regions
associated with
genetic disease; (ii) identify an individual from a minute biological sample
(tissue typing);
and (iii) aid in forensic identification of a biological sample. Additionally,
the nucleotide
sequences of the invention can be used to identify and express recombinant
polypeptides for
analysis, characterization or therapeutic use, or as markers for tissues in
which the
corresponding polypeptide is expressed, either constitutively, during tissue
differentiation, or
in diseased states. The nucleic acid sequences can additionally be used as
reagents in the
CA 02587979 2007-05-18
WO 2006/053955 PCT/F12005/050429
screening and/or diagnostic assays described herein, and can also be included
as components
of kits (e.g. reagent kits) for use in the screening and/or diagnostic assays
described herein.
5 Polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies
Polyclonal and/or monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind one form of the
gene product
but not to the other form of the gene product are also provided. Antibodies
are also provided
that bind a portion of either the variant or the reference gene product that
contains the
10 polymorphic site or sites. The term "antibody" as used herein refers to
immunoglobulin
molecules and immunologically active portions of immunoglobulin molecules,
i.e. molecules
that contain an antigen binding site that specifically binds an antigen. A
molecule that
specifically binds to a polypeptide of the invention is a molecule that binds
to that polypeptide
or a fragment thereof, but does not substantially bind other molecules in a
sample, e.g. a
15 biological sample, which naturally contains the polypeptide. Examples of
immunologically
active portions of immunoglobulin molecules include F(ab) and F(ab') fragments
which can
be generated by treating the antibody with an enzyme such as pepsin. The
invention provides
polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies that bind to a polypeptide of the
invention. The term
"monoclonal antibody" or "monoclonal antibody composition" as used herein,
refers to a
population of antibody molecules that contain only one species of an antigen
binding site
capable of immunoreacting with a particular epitope of a polypeptide of the
invention. A
monoclonal antibody composition thus typically displays a single binding
affinity for a
particular polypeptide of the invention with which it immunoreacts.
Polyclonal antibodies can be prepared as known by those skilled in the art by
immunizing a
suitable subject with a desired immunogen, e.g. a polypeptide of the invention
or fragment
thereof. The antibody titer in the immunized subject can be monitored over
time by standard
techniques such as with an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using
immobilized
polypeptide. If desired, the antibody molecules directed against the
polypeptide can be
isolated from the mammal (e.g. from blood) and further purified by well-known
techniques,
such as protein A chromatography to obtain the IgG fraction. At an appropriate
time after
immunization, e.g. when the antibody titers are highest, antibody-producing
cells can be
obtained from the subject and used to prepare monoclonal antibodies by
standard techniques,
such as the hybridoma technique (Kohler G and Milstein C, 1975), the human B
cell
hybridoma technique (Kozbor D et al, 1982), the EBV-hybridoma technique (Cole
SP et al,
1994), or trioma techniques (Hering S et al, 1988). To produce a hybridoma an
immortal cell
line (typically a myeloma) is fused to lymphocytes (typically splenocytes)
from a mammal
immunized with an immunogen as described above, and the culture supernatants
of the
resulting hybridoma cells are screened to identify a hybridoma producing a
monoclonal
antibody that binds a polypeptide of the invention.
Any of the many well known protocols used for fusing lymphocytes and
immortalized cell
lines can be applied for the purpose of generating a monoclonal antibody to a
polypeptide of
the invention (Bierer B et al, 2002). Moreover, the ordinarily skilled worker
will appreciate
that there are many variations of such methods that would also be useful.
As an alternative to preparing monoclonal antibody-secreting hybridomas, a
monoclonal
antibody to a polypeptide of the invention can be identified and isolated by
screening a
recombinant combinatorial immunoglobulin library (e.g. an antibody phage
display library)
with the polypeptide to thereby isolate immunoglobulin library members that
bind the
CA 02587979 2007-05-18
WO 2006/053955 PCT/F12005/050429
16
polypeptide (Hayashi N et al, 1995; Hay BN et al, 1992; Huse WD et al, 1989;
Griffiths AD
et al, 1993). Kits for generating and screening phage display libraries are
commercially
available.
Additionally, recombinant antibodies, such as chimeric and humanized
monoclonal antibodies
comprising both human and nonhuman portions, which can be made using standard
recombinant DNA techniques, are within the scope of the invention. Such
chimeric and
humanized monoclonal antibodies can be produced by recombinant DNA techniques
known
in the art.
In general, antibodies of the invention (e.g. a monoclonal antibody) can be
used to isolate a
polypeptide of the invention by standard techniques such as affmity
chromatography or
immunoprecipitation. A polypeptide-specific antibody can facilitate the
purification of natural
polypeptide from cells and of recombinantly produced polypeptide expressed in
host cells.
Moreover, an antibody specific for a polypeptide of the invention can be used
to detect the
polypeptide (e.g. in a cellular lysate, cell supernatant, or tissue sample) in
order to evaluate
the abundance and pattern of expression of the polypeptide. Antibodies can be
used
diagnostically to monitor protein levels in tissue such as blood as part of a
test predicting the
susceptibility to HT or as part of a clinical testing procedure, e.g. to
determine the efficacy of
a given treatment regimen. Detection can be facilitated by coupling the
antibody to a
detectable substance. Examples of detectable substances include various
enzymes, prosthetic
groups, fluorescent materials, luminescent materials, bioluminescent
materials, and
radioactive materials. Examples of suitable enzymes include horseradish
peroxidase, alkaline
phosphatase, beta-galactosidase, and acetylcholinesterase; examples of
suitable prosthetic
group complexes include streptavidin/biotin and avidin/biotin; examples of
suitable
fluorescent materials include umbelliferone, fluorescein, fluorescein
isothiocyanate,
rhodamine, dichlorotriazinylamine fluorescein, dansyl chloride or
phycoerythrin; an example
of a luminescent material includes luminol; examples of bioluminescent
materials include
luciferase, luciferin, and aequorin, and examples of suitable radioactive
material include 125I330 131I33sS and 3H.
Diagnostic Assays
The probes, primers and antibodies described herein can be used in methods of
diagnosis of
HT or diagnosis of a susceptibility to HT, as well as in kits useful for the
diagnosis of HT or
susceptibility to HT, or to a disease or condition associated with HT.
In one embodiment of the invention, diagnosis of HT or susceptibility to HT
(or diagnosis of
or susceptibility to a disease or condition associated with HT), is made by
detecting one or
several of at-risk alleles or at-risk haplotypes or a combination of at-risk
alleles and at-risk
haplotypes described in this invention in the subject's nucleic acid as
described herein.
In one embodiment of the invention, diagnosis of HT or susceptibility to HT
(or diagnosis of
or susceptibility to a disease or condition associated with HT) is made by
detecting one or
several polymorphic sites that are associated with at-risk alleles and/or at-
risk haplotypes
described in this invention, in the subject's nucleic acid. Diagnostically,
the most useful
polymorphic sites are those altering the polypeptide structure of an HT
associated gene due to
a frame shift; due to a premature stop codon, due to an aminoacid change or
due to abnormal
mRNA splicing. Nucleotide changes in a gene resulting in a change in
corresponding

WO 2006/053955 PCT/F12005/050429
17
polypeptide aminoacid sequence in many case alter the physiological properties
of a
polypeptide by resulting in a polypeptide having altered biological
activity/function,
distribution or stability. Other diagnostically useful polymorphic sites are
those affecting
transcription of an HT associated gene or translation of it's mRNA due to
altered tissue
specifity, altered transcription rate, altered response to physiological
status, altered translation
efficiency of the mRNA and altered stability of the mRNA. The presence of
nucleotide
sequence variants altering the polypeptide structure of HT associated genes or
altering the
expression of HT associated genes is diagnostic for susceptibility to HT.
For diagnostic applications, there may be informative polymorphisms for
prediction of
disease risk that are in linkage disequilibrium with the functional
polymorphism. Such a
functional polymorphism may alter splicing sites, affect the stability or
transport of mRNA, or
otherwise affect the transcription or translation of the nucleic acid. The
presence of nucleotide
sequence variants associated with functional polymorphism is diagnostic for
susceptibility to
HT.
While we have genotyped and included a limited number of example SNP markers
in the
experimental section, any functional, regulatory or other mutation or
alteration described
above in any of the HT risk genes identified herein is expected to predict the
risk of HT.
In diagnostic assays determination of the nucleotides present in one or
several of the HT
associated SNP markers of this invention, as well as polymorphic sites
associated with HT
associated SNP markers of this invention, in an individual's nucleic acid can
be done by any
method or technique which can accurately determine nucleotides present in a
polymorphic
site. Numerous suitable methods have been described in the art (Kwok P-Y,
2001; Syvanen
A-C, 2001). These methods include, but are not limited to, hybridization
assays, ligation
assays, primer extension assays, enzymatic cleavage assays, chemical cleavage
assays and
any combinations of these assays. The assays may or may not include PCR, solid
phase step,
modified oligonucleotides, labeled probes or labeled nucleotides, and the
assay may be
multiplex or singleplex. As it is obvious in the art the nucleotides present
in polymorphic site
can be determined from one nucleic acid strand or from both strands.
In another embodiment of the invention, diagnosis of a susceptibility to HT
can also be made
by examining transcription of one or several HT associated genes. Alterations
in transcription
can be analyzed by a variety of methods as described in the art, including
e.g. hybridization
methods, enzymatic cleavage assays, RT-PCR assays and microarrays. A test
sample from an
individual is collected and the alterations in the transcription of HT
associated genes are
assessed from the RNA present in the sample. Altered transcription is
diagnostic for a
susceptibility to HT.
In another embodiment of the invention, diagnosis of a susceptibility to HT
can also be made
by examining expression and/or structure and/or function of an HT
susceptibility polypeptide.
A test sample from an individual is assessed for the presence of an alteration
in the expression
and/or an alteration in structure and/or function of the polypeptide encoded
by an HT risk
gene, or for the presence of a particular polypeptide variant (e.g. an
isoform) encoded by an
HT risk gene. An alteration in expression of a polypeptide encoded by an HT
risk gene can be
for example, an alteration in the quantitative polypeptide expression (i.e.
the amount of
polypeptide produced); an alteration in the structure and/or function of a
polypeptide encoded
by an HT risk gene is an alteration in the qualitative polypeptide expression
(e.g. expression
of a mutant HT susceptibility polypeptide or of a different splicing variant
or isoform). In a
CA 02587979 2007-05-18
WO 2006/053955 PCT/F12005/050429
18
preferred embodiment, detection of a particular splicing variant encoded by an
HT risk gene,
or a particular pattern of splicing variants makes diagnosis of the disease or
condition
associated with HT or a susceptibility to a disease or condition associated
with HT possible.
Alterations in expression and/or structure and/or function of an HT
susceptibility polypeptide
can be determined by various methods known in the art e.g. by assays based on
chromatography, spectroscopy, colorimetry, electrophoresis, isoelectric
focusing, specific
cleavage, immunologic techniques and measurement of biological activity as
well as
combinations of different assays. An "alteration" in the polypeptide
expression or
composition, as used herein, refers to an alteration in expression or
composition in a test
sample, as compared with the expression or composition of polypeptide by an HT
risk gene in
a control sample. A control sample is a sample that corresponds to the test
sample (i.e. is from
the same type of cells), and is from an individual who is not affected by HT.
An alteration in
the expression or composition of the polypeptide in the test sample, as
compared with the
control sample, is indicative of a susceptibility to HT.
Western blotting analysis using an antibody as described above that
specifically binds to a
polypeptide encoded by a mutant HT risk gene, or an antibody that specifically
binds to a
polypeptide encoded by a nonmutant gene, or an antibody that specifically
binds to a
particular splicing variant encoded by an HT risk gene, can be used to
identify the presence in
a test sample of a particular splicing variant or isoform, or of a polypeptide
encoded by a
polymorphic or mutant HT risk gene, or the absence in a test sample of a
particular splicing
variant or isoform, or of a polypeptide encoded by a nonpolymorphic or
nonmutant gene. The
presence of a polypeptide encoded by a polymorphic or mutant gene, or the
absence of a
polypeptide encoded by a nonpolymorphic or nonmutant gene, is diagnostic for
susceptibility
to HT, as is the presence (or absence) of particular splicing variants encoded
by an HT risk
gene.
In one embodiment of this method, the level or amount of polypeptide encoded
by an HT risk
gene in a test sample is compared with the level or amount of the polypeptide
encoded by an
HT risk gene in a control sample. A level or amount of the polypeptide in the
test sample that
is higher or lower than the level or amount of the polypeptide in the control
sample, such that
the difference is statistically significant, is indicative of an alteration in
the expression of the
polypeptide encoded by an HT risk gene, and is diagnostic for susceptibility
to HT.
Alternatively, the composition of the polypeptide encoded by an HT risk gene
in a test sample
is compared with the composition of the polypeptide encoded by an HT risk gene
in a control
sample (e.g. the presence of different splicing variants). A difference in the
composition of the
polypeptide in the test sample, as compared with the composition of the
polypeptide in the
control sample, is diagnostic for susceptibility to HT. In another embodiment,
both the level
or amount, and the composition of the polypeptide can be assessed in the test
sample and in
the control sample. A difference in the amount or level of the polypeptide in
the test sample
compared to the control sample; a difference in composition in the test sample
compared to
the control sample; or both a difference in the amount or level, and a
difference in the
composition, is indicative of susceptibility to HT.
In another embodiment, assessment of the splicing variant or isoform(s) of a
polypeptide
encoded by a polymorphic or mutant HT risk gene can be performed. The
assessment can be
performed directly (e.g. by examining the polypeptide itself), or indirectly
(e.g. by examining
the mRNA encoding the polypeptide, e.g. by mRNA profiling). For example,
probes or
primers as described herein can be used to determine which splicing variants
or isoforms are
CA 02587979 2007-05-18
WO 2006/053955 PCT/F12005/050429
19
encoded by an HT risk gene mRNA, using standard methods.
The presence in a test sample of a particular splicing variant(s) or
isoform(s) associated with
HT or risk of HT, or the absence in a test sample of a particular splicing
variant(s) or
isoform(s) not associated with HT or risk of HT, is diagnostic for a disease
or condition
associated with an HT risk gene or susceptibility to a disease or condition
associated with an
HT risk gene. Similarly, the absence in a test sample of a particular splicing
variant(s) or
isoform(s) associated with HT or risk of HT, or the presence in a test sample
of a particular
splicing variant(s) or isoform(s) not associated with HT or risk of HT, is
diagnostic for the
absence of disease or condition associated with an HT risk gene or
susceptibility to a disease
or condition associated with an HT risk gene.
The invention further pertains to a method for the diagnosis and
identification of susceptibility
to HT in an individual by identifying an at-risk allele or an at-risk
haplotype in an HT risk
gene. In one embodiment, the at-risk allele or the at-risk haplotype is an
allele or haplotype
for which the presence of the haplotype increases the risk of HT
significantly. Although it is
to be understood that identifying whether a risk is significant may depend on
a variety of
factors, including the specific disease, the haplotype, and often,
environmental factors, the
significance may be measured by an odds ratio or a percentage. In a further
embodiment, the
significance is measured by a percentage. In one embodiment, a significant
risk is measured
as an odds ratio of 0.8 or less or at least about 1.2, including but not
limited to: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3,
0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0,
2.5, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0,
20.0, 25.0, 30.0 and 40Ø In a further embodiment an odds ratio of at least
1.2 is significant.
In a further embodiment, an odds ratio of at least about 1.5 is significant.
In a further
embodiment a significant increase or decrease in risk is at least about 1.7.
In a further
embodiment, a significant increase in risk is at least about 20%, including
but not limited to
about 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%,
95%
and 98%. In a further embodiment a significant increase or reduction in risk
is at least about
50%. It is understood, however, that identifying whether a risk is medically
significant may
also depend on a variety of factors, including the specific disease, the
allele or the haplotype,
and often, environmental factors.
The invention also pertains to methods of diagnosing HT or susceptibility to
HT in an
individual, comprising screening for an at-risk haplotype in the HT risk gene
that is more
frequently present in an individual susceptible to HT (affected), compared to
the frequency of
its presence in a healthy individual (control), wherein the presence of the
haplotype is
indicative of HT or susceptibility to HT. See tables 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8 for SNP
markers that
comprise haplotypes that can be used as screening tools. SNP markers from
these lists
represent at-risk haplotypes and can be used to design diagnostic tests for
determining
susceptibility to HT.
Kits (e.g. reagent kits) useful in the methods of diagnosis comprise
components useful in any
of the methods described herein, including for example, PCR primers,
hybridization probes or
primers as described herein (e.g. labeled probes or primers), reagents for
genotyping SNP
markers, reagents for detection of labeled molecules, restriction enzymes
(e.g. for RFLP
analysis), allele-specific oligonucleotides, DNA polymerases, RNA polymerases,
marker
enzymes, antibodies which bind to altered or to nonaltered (native) HT
susceptibility
polypeptide, means for amplification of nucleic acids comprising one or
several HT risk
genes, or means for analyzing the nucleic acid sequence of one or several HT
risk genes or for
analyzing the amino acid sequence of one or several HT susceptibility
polypeptides, etc. In
CA 02587979 2007-05-18
WO 2006/053955 PCT/F12005/050429
one embodiment, a kit for diagnosing susceptibility to HT can comprise primers
for nucleic
acid amplification of a region in an HT risk gene comprising an at-risk
haplotype that is more
frequently present in an individual susceptible to HT. The primers can be
designed using
portions of the nucleic acids flanking SNPs that are indicative of HT.

This invention is based on the principle that one or a small number of
genotypings are
performed and the sequence variations to be typed are selected on the basis of
their ability to
predict HT. For this reason any method to genotype sequence variations in a
genomic DNA
sample can be used.
Thus, the detection method of the invention may further comprise a step of
combining
information concerning age, gender, the family history of HT, diabetes and
hypercholesterolemia, and the medical history concerning CVD or diabetes of
the subject with
the results obtained from step b) of the method (see claim 1) for confirming
the indication
obtained from the detection step. Said information may also concern
hypercholesterolemia in
the family, smoking status, HT in the family, history of CVD, obesity in the
family, and
waist-to-hip circumference ratio (cm/cm)
The detection method of the invention may also further comprise a step
determining blood,
serum or plasma cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglyceride,
apolipoprotein
B and Al, fibrinogen, ferritin, transferrin receptor, C-reactive protein,
serum or plasma insulin
concentration.
The score that predicts the probability of HT may be calculated using a
multivariate failure
time model or a logistic regression equation. The results from the further
steps of the method
as described above render possible a step of calculating the probability of
developing HT
using a logistic regression equation as follows.
Probability of HT = 1/[1 + e(-(-a + E(bi*Xi))], where e is Napier's constant,
Xi are variables
related to HT, bi are coefficients of these variables in the logistic
function, and a is the
constant term in the logistic function, and wherein a and bi are preferably
determined in the
population in which the method is to be used, and Xi are prefereably selected
among the
variables that have been measured in the population in which the method is to
be used.
Preferable values for b; are between -20 and 20; and for i between 0 (zero)
and 100,000. A
negative coefficient b; implies that the marker is risk-reducing and a
positive coefficient
implies that the marker is risk-increasing.
Xi are binary variables that can have values or are coded as 0 (zero) or
1(one) such as SNP
markers. The model may additionally include any interaction (product) or terms
of any
variables Xi, e.g. biXi. An algorithm is developed for combining the
information to yield a
simple prediction of HT as percentage of risk in one year, two years, five
years, 10 years or 20
years.
Alternative statistical models are failure-time models such as the Cox's
proportional hazards'
model, other iterative models and neural networking models.
The test can be applied to test the risk of developing HT in both healthy
persons, as a
screening or predisposition test, and high-risk persons (who have e.g. family
history of HT,
central or other type of obesity, lack of physical activity, high sodium
intake, high intake of
saturated fats, low intake of potassium and/or magnesium, low HDL cholesterol,
diabetes
CA 02587979 2007-05-18
WO 2006/053955 PCT/F12005/050429
21
mellitus, glucose intolerance, insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome,
elevated
inflammatory marker, or any combination of these or an elevated level of any
other risk factor
for HT).
The method can be used in the prediction and early diagnosis of HT in adult
persons,
stratification and selection of subjects in clinical trials, and/or
stratiflcation and selection of
persons for intensified preventive and curative interventions. The aim is to
reduce the cost of
clinical drug trials and health care.
Pharmaceutical Compositions
The present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising
agents
described herein, particularly nucleotides in HT risk genes, and/or comprising
other splicing
variants encoded by HT risk genes; and/or an agent that alters (e.g. enhances
or inhibits) HT
risk gene expression or HT susceptibility gene polypeptide activity as
described herein. For
instance, a polypeptide, protein (e.g. a receptor), an agent that alters an HT
risk gene
expression, or an HT susceptibility polypeptide binding agent or binding
partner, fragment,
fusion protein or prodrug thereof, or a nucleotide or nucleic acid construct
(vector)
comprising a nucleotide of the present invention, or an agent that alters HT
susceptibility gene
polypeptide activity, can be formulated with a physiologically acceptable
carrier or excipient
to prepare a pharmaceutical composition. The carrier and composition can be
sterile. The
formulation should suit the mode of administration.
In a preferred embodiment pharmaceutical compositions comprise an agent or
agents
reversing, at least partially, HT associated changes in biological networks
and/or metabolic
pathways related to the HT associated genes of this invention (Table 6).
Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include but are not limited to
water, salt
solutions (e.g. NaC1), saline, buffered saline, alcohols, glycerol, ethanol,
gum arabic,
vegetable oils, benzyl alcohols, polyethylene glycols, gelatin, carbohydrates
such as lactose,
amylose or starch, dextrose, magnesium stearate, talc, silicic acid, viscous
paraffin, perfume
oil, fatty acid esters, hydroxymethylcellulose, polyvinyl pyrolidone, etc., as
well as
combinations thereof. The pharmaceutical preparations can, if desired, be
mixed with
auxiliary agents, e.g. lubricants, preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents,
emulsifiers, salts for
influencing osmotic pressure, buffers, coloring, flavoring and/or aromatic
substances and the
like that do not deleteriously react with the active agents.
The composition, if desired, can also contain minor amounts of wetting or
emulsifying agents,
or pH buffering agents. The composition can be a liquid solution, suspension,
emulsion,
tablet, pill, capsule, sustained release formulation, or powder. The
composition can be
formulated as a suppository, with traditional binders and carriers such as
triglycerides. Oral
formulation can include standard carriers such as pharmaceutical grades of
mannitol, lactose,
starch, magnesium stearate, polyvinyl pyrolidone, sodium saccharine,
cellulose, magnesium
carbonate, etc.
Methods of introduction of these compositions include, but are not limited to,
intradermal,
intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intraocular, intravenous, subcutaneous,
topical, oral and
intranasal. Other suitable methods of introduction can also include gene
therapy (as described
below), rechargeable or biodegradable devices, particle acceleration devices
("gene guns")

22
and slow release polymeric devices. The pharmaceutical compositions of this
invention can
also be administered as part of a combinatorial therapy with other agents.
The composition can be formulated in accordance with the routine procedures as
a
pharmaceutical composition adapted for administration to human beings. For
example,
compositions for intravenous administration are typically solutions in sterile
isotonic aqueous
buffer. Where necessary, the composition may also include a solubilizing agent
and a local
anesthetic to ease pain at the site of the injection. Generally, the
ingredients are supplied
either separately or mixed together in unit dosage form, for example, as a dry
lyophilized
powder or water free concentrate in a hermetically sealed container such as an
ampule or
sachette indicating the quantity of active agent. Where the composition is to
be administered
by infusion, it can be dispensed with an infusion bottle containing sterile
pharmaceutical
grade water, saline or dextrose/water. Where the composition is administered
by injection, an
ampule of sterile water for injection or saline can be provided so that the
ingredients may be
mixed prior to administration.
For topical application, nonsprayable forms, viscous to semi-solid or solid
forms comprising a
carrier compatible with topical application and having a dynamic viscosity
preferably greater
than water, can be employed. Suitable formulations include but are not limited
to solutions,
suspensions, emulsions, creams, ointments, powders, enemas, lotions, sols,
liniments, salves,
aerosols, etc., which are, if desired, sterilized or mixed with auxiliary
agents, e.g.
preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, buffers or salts for influencing
osmotic pressure, etc.
The agent may be incorporated into a cosmetic formulation. For topical
application, sprayable
aerosol preparations wherein the active ingredient, preferably in combination
with a solid or
liquid inert carrier material, is packaged in a squeeze bottle or in admixture
with a pressurized
volatile, normally gaseous propellant, e.g. pressurized air, are also
suitable.
Agents described herein can be formulated as neutral or salt forms.
Pharmaceutically
acceptable salts include those formed with free amino groups such as those
derived from
hydrochloric, phosphoric, acetic, oxalic, tartaric acids, etc., and those
formed with free
carboxyl groups such as those derived from sodium, potassium, ammonium,
calcium, ferric
hydroxides, isopropylamine, triethylamine, 2-ethylamino ethanol, histidine,
procaine, etc.
The agents are administered in a therapeutically effective amount. The amount
of agents
which will be therapeutically effective in the treatment of a particular
disorder or condition
will depend on the nature of the disorder or condition, and can be determined
by standard
clinical techniques. In addition, in vitro or in vivo assays may optionally be
employed to help
identify optimal dosage ranges. The precise dose to be employed in the
formulation will also
depend on the route of administration, and the severity of the symptoms of HT,
and should be
decided according to the judgment of a practitioner and each patient's
circumstances.
Effective doses may be extrapolated from dose-response curves derived from in
vitro or
animal model test systems.
Methods of Therapy
The present invention encompasses methods of treatment (prophylactic and/or
therapeutic) for
HT or a susceptibility to HT, such as individuals in the target populations
described herein,
using an HT therapeutic agent. An "HT therapeutic agent" is an agent that
alters (e.g.
enhances or inhibits) HT risk affecting polypeptide (enzymatic activity or
quantity) and/or an
CA 02587979 2007-05-18
WO 2006/053955 PCT/F12005/050429
23
HT risk gene expression, as described herein (e.g. an agonist or antagonist).
HT therapeutic
agents can alter an HT susceptibility polypeptide activity or nucleic acid
expression by a
variety of means, for example, by providing additional HT susceptibility
polypeptide or by
upregulating the transcription or translation of the HT risk gene; by altering
posttranslational
processing of the HT susceptibility polypeptide; by altering transcription of
an HT risk gene
splicing variants; or by interfering with an HT susceptibility polypeptide
activity (e.g. by
binding to an HT susceptibility polypeptide); or by downregulating the
transcription or
translation of the HT risk gene, or by inhibiting or enhancing the elimination
of an HT
susceptibility polypeptide.
In particular, the invention relates to methods of treatment for HT or
susceptibility to HT (for
example, for individuals in an at-risk population such as those described
herein); as well as to
methods of treatment for manifestations and subtypes of HT.
Representative HT therapeutic agents include the following:
nucleic acids or fragments or derivatives thereof described herein,
particularly nucleotides
encoding the polypeptides described herein and vectors comprising such nucleic
acids (e.g. a
gene, cDNA, and/or mRNA, double-stranded interfering RNA, a nucleic acid
encoding an HT
susceptibility polypeptide or active fragment or derivative thereof, or an
oligonucleotide; for
examples see tables 2 through 8;
other polypeptides (e.g. HT susceptibility receptors); HT susceptibility
polypeptide binding
agents; peptidomimetics; fusion proteins or prodrugs thereof, antibodies (e.g.
an antibody to a
mutant HT susceptibility polypeptide, or an antibody to a non-mutant HT
susceptibility
polypeptide, or an antibody to a particular splicing variant encoded by an HT
risk gene, as
described above); ribozymes; other small molecules;
and other agents that alter (e.g. inhibit or antagonize) an HT risk gene
expression or
polypeptide activity or that regulate transcription of an HT risk gene
splicing variants (e.g.
agents that affect which splicing variants are expressed, or that affect the
amount of each
splicing variant that is expressed);
and other reagents that alter (e.g. induce or agonize) an HT risk gene
expression or
polypeptide activity or that regulate transcription of an HT risk gene
splicing variants (e.g.
agents that affect which splicing variants are expressed or that affect the
amount of each
splicing variant that is expressed).
More than one HT therapeutic agent can be used concurrently, if desired.
The HT therapeutic agent that is a nucleic acid is used in the treatment of
HT. The term,
"treatment" as used herein, refers not only to ameliorating symptoms
associated with the
disease, but also preventing or delaying the onset of the disease and also
lessening the severity
or frequency of symptoms of the disease, preventing or delaying the occurrence
of a second
episode of the disease or condition; and/or also lessening the severity or
frequency of
symptoms of the disease or condition. In the case of atherosclerosis,
"treatment" also refers to
a minimization or reversal of the development of plaques. The therapy is
designed to alter
(e.g. inhibit or enhance), replace or supplement activity of an HT polypeptide
in an individual.
For example, an HT therapeutic agent can be administered in order to
upregulate or increase
the expression or availability of an HT risk gene or of specific splicing
variants of an HT
CA 02587979 2007-05-18
WO 2006/053955 PCT/F12005/050429
24
susceptibility, gene or, conversely, to downregulate or decrease the
expression or availability
of an HT risk gene or specific splicing variants of an HT risk gene.
Upregulation or increasing
expression or availability of a native HT risk gene or of a particular
splicing variant could
interfere with or compensate for the expression or activity of a defective
gene or another
splicing variant; downregulation or decreasing expression or availability of a
native HT risk
gene or of a particular splicing variant could minimize the expression or
activity of a defective
gene or the particular splicing variant and thereby minimize the impact of the
defective gene
or the particular splicing variant.
The HT therapeutic agent(s) are administered in a therapeutically effective
amount (i.e. an
amount that is sufficient to treat the disease, e.g. by ameliorating symptoms
associated with
the disease, preventing or delaying the onset of the disease, and/or also
lessening the severity
or frequency of symptoms of the disease). The amount which will be
therapeutically effective
in the treatment of a particular individual's disorder or condition will
depend on the symptoms
and severity of the disease and can be determined by standard clinical
techniques. In addition,
in vitro or in vivo assays may optionally be employed to help identify optimal
dosage ranges.
The precise dose to be employed in the formulation will also depend on the
route of
administration and the severity of the disease or disorder, and should be
decided according to
the judgment of a practitioner and each patient's circumstances. Effective
doses may be
extrapolated from dose-response curves derived from in vitro or animal model
test systems.
In one embodiment, a nucleic acid of the invention (e.g. a nucleic acid
encoding an HT
susceptibility polypeptide set forth in table 6 optionally comprising at least
one polymorphism
shown in tables 2 through 11; or another nucleic acid that encodes an HT
susceptibility
polypeptide or a splicing variant, derivative or fragment thereof, can be
used, either alone or
in a pharmaceutical composition as described above. For example, an HT risk
gene or a
cDNA encoding an HT susceptibility polypeptide, either by itself or included
within a vector,
can be introduced into cells (either in vitro or in vivo) such that the cells
produce native HT
susceptibility polypeptide. If necessary, cells that have been transformed
with the gene or
cDNA or a vector comprising the gene or cDNA can be introduced (or re-
introduced) into an
individual affected with the disease. Thus, cells that in nature lack a native
HT risk gene
expression and activity, or have mutant HT risk gene expression and activity,
or have
expression of a disease-associated HT risk gene splicing variant, can be
engineered to express
an HT susceptibility polypeptide or an active fragment of an HT susceptibility
polypeptide (or
a different variant of an HT susceptibility polypeptide). In a preferred
embodiment, nucleic
acid encoding an HT susceptibility polypeptide, or an active fragment or
derivative thereof,
can be introduced into an expression vector, such as a viral vector, and the
vector can be
introduced into appropriate cells in an animal. Other gene transfer systems
including viral and
nonviral transfer systems can be used. Alternatively, nonviral gene transfer
methods such as
calcium phosphate coprecipitation, mechanical techniques (e.g.
microinjection); membrane
fusion-mediated transfer via liposomes; or direct DNA uptake, can also be
used.
Alternatively, in another embodiment of the invention, a nucleic acid of the
invention; a
nucleic acid complementary to a nucleic acid of the invention; or a portion of
such a nucleic
acid (e.g. an oligonucleotide as described below) can be used in "antisense"
therapy in which
a nucleic acid (e.g. an oligonucleotide) that specifically hybridizes to the
mRNA and/or
genomic DNA of an HT risk gene is administered or generated in situ. The
antisense nucleic
acid that specifically hybridizes to the mRNA and/or DNA inhibits expression
of the HT
susceptibility polypeptide, e.g. by inhibiting translation and/or
transcription. Binding of the
antisense nucleic acid can be by conventional base pair complementarity, or
for example in
CA 02587979 2007-05-18
WO 2006/053955 PCT/F12005/050429
the case of binding to DNA duplexes, through specific interaction in the major
groove of the
double helix.
An antisense construct of the present invention can be delivered, for example,
as an
5 expression plasmid as described above. When the plasmid is transcribed in
the cell it produces
RNA that is complementary to a portion of the mRNA and/or DNA which encodes an
HT
susceptibility polypeptide. Alternatively, the antisense construct can be an
oligonucleotide
probe that is generated ex vivo and introduced into cells; it then inhibits
expression by
hybridizing with the mRNA and/or genomic DNA of an HT risk gene. In one
embodiment,
10 the oligonucleotide probes are modified oligonucleotides that are resistant
to endogenous
nucleases, e.g. exonucleases and/or endonucleases, thereby rendering them
stable in vivo.
Exemplary nucleic acid molecules for use as antisense oligonucleotides are
phosphoramidate,
phosphothioate and methylphosphonate analogs of DNA. Additionally, general
approaches to
constructing oligomers useful in antisense therapy are also described by van
der Krol AR et
15 al, 1988 and Stein CA and Cohen JS, 1988. With respect to antisense DNA,
oligodeoxyribonucleotides derived from the translation initiation site, e.g.
between the -10
and +10 regions of an HT risk gene sequence, are preferred.
To perform antisense therapy, oligonucleotides (mRNA, cDNA or DNA) are
designed that are
20 complementary to the mRNA encoding an HT susceptibility polypeptide. The
antisense
oligonucleotides bind to HT susceptibility mRNA transcripts and prevent
translation.
Absolute complementarity, although preferred, is not required. A sequence
"complementary"
to a portion of an RNA, as referred to herein, indicates that a sequence has
sufficient
complementarity to be able to hybridize with the RNA forming a stable duplex;
in the case of
25 double-stranded antisense nucleic acids, a single strand of the duplex DNA
may thus be
tested, or triplex formation may be assayed. The ability to hybridize will
depend on both the
degree of complementarity and the length of the antisense nucleic acid, as
described in detail
above. Generally, the longer the hybridizing nucleic acid, the more base
mismatches with an
RNA it may contain and still form a stable duplex (or triplex, as the case may
be). One skilled
in the art can ascertain a tolerable degree of mismatch by use of standard
procedures.
The oligonucleotides used in antisense therapy can be DNA, RNA, or chimeric
mixtures or
derivatives or modified versions thereof, single-stranded or double-stranded.
The
oligonucleotides can be modified at the base moiety, sugar moiety, or
phosphate backbone,
for example, to improve stability of the molecule, hybridization, etc. The
oligonucleotides can
include other appended groups such as peptides (e.g. for targeting host cell
receptors in vivo),
or agents facilitating transport across the cell membrane (Letsinger RL et al,
1989; Lemaitre
M et al, 1987) or the blood-brain barrier (Jaeger LB and Banks WA, 2004), or
hybridization-
triggered cleavage agents (van der Krol AR et al, 1988) or intercalating
agents. (Zon G,
1988). To this end, the oligonucleotide may be conjugated to another molecule
(e.g. a peptide,
hybridization triggered cross-linking agent, transport agent, hybridization-
triggered cleavage
agent).
The antisense molecules are delivered to cells that express an HT risk gene in
vivo. A number
of methods can be used for delivering antisense DNA or RNA to cells; e.g.
antisense
molecules can be injected directly into the tissue site, or modified antisense
molecules,
designed to target the desired cells (e.g. antisense linked to peptides or
antibodies that
specifically bind receptors or antigens expressed on the target cell surface)
can be
administered systematically. Alternatively, in a preferred embodiment, a
recombinant DNA
construct is utilized in which the antisense oligonucleotide is placed under
the control of a
CA 02587979 2007-05-18
WO 2006/053955 PCT/F12005/050429
26
strong promoter (e.g. pol III or pol II). The use of such a construct to
transfect target cells in
the patient results in the transcription of sufficient amounts of single
stranded RNAs that will
form complementary base pairs with the endogenous HT risk gene transcripts and
thereby
prevent translation of the HT susceptibility mRNA. For example, a vector can
be introduced
in vivo such that it is taken up by a cell and directs the transcription of an
antisense RNA.
Such a vector can remain episomal or become chromosomally integrated, as long
as it can be
transcribed to produce the desired antisense RNA. Such vectors can be
constructed by
recombinant DNA technology methods standard in the art and described above.
For example,
a plasmid, cosmid, YAC or viral vector can be used to prepare the recombinant
DNA
construct that can be introduced directly into the tissue site. Alternatively,
viral vectors can be
used which selectively infect the desired tissue, in which case administration
may be
accomplished by another route (e.g. systemically).
An endogenous HT risk gene expression can be also reduced by inactivating or
"knocking
out" an HT risk gene or its promoter using targeted homologous recombination
(Smithies 0 et
al, 1985; Thomas KR and Capecchi MR, 1987; Thompson S et al, 1989). For
example, a
mutant, non-functional HT risk gene (or a completely unrelated DNA sequence)
flanked by
DNA homologous to the endogenous HT risk gene (either the coding regions or
regulatory
regions of an HT risk gene) can be used, with or without a selectable marker
and/or a negative
selectable marker, to transfect cells that express an HT risk gene in vivo.
Insertion of the
DNA construct, via targeted homologous recombination, results in inactivation
of the HT risk
gene. The recombinant DNA constructs can be directly administered or targeted
to the
required site in vivo using appropriate vectors, as described above.
Alternatively, expression
of nonmutant HT risk gene can be increased using a similar method: targeted
homologous
recombination can be used to insert a DNA construct comprising a nonmutant,
functional HT
risk gene (e.g. any gene shown in table 6 that may optionally comprise at
least one
polymorphism shown in tables 2 through 11), or a portion thereof, in place of
a mutant HT
risk gene in the cell as described above. In another embodiment, targeted
homologous
recombination can be used to insert a DNA construct comprising a nucleic acid
that encodes
an HT susceptibility polypeptide variant that differs from that present in the
cell.
Alternatively, an endogenous HT risk gene expression can be reduced by
targeting
deoxyribonucleotide sequences complementary to the regulatory region of an HT
risk gene
(i.e. the HT risk gene promoter and/or enhancers) to form triple helical
structures that prevent
transcription of an HT risk gene in target cells in the body (Helene C, 1991;
Helene C et al,
1992; Maher LJ, 1992). Likewise, the antisense constructs described herein can
be used in the
manipulation of tissue, by antagonizing the normal biological activity of one
of the HT
proteins, e.g. tissue differentiation both in vivo and for ex vivo tissue
cultures. Furthermore,
the anti-sense techniques (e.g. microinjection of antisense molecules, or
transfection with
plasmids whose transcripts are anti-sense with regard to an HT mRNA or gene
sequence) can
be used to investigate the role of an HT risk gene in developmental events, as
well as the
normal cellular function of an HT risk gene in adult tissue. Such techniques
can be utilized in
cell culture, but can also be used in the creation of transgenic animals.
In yet another embodiment of the invention, other HT therapeutic agents as
described herein
can also be used in the treatment or prevention of HT. The therapeutic agents
can be delivered
in a composition, as described above, or by themshelves. They can be
administered
systemically, or can be targeted to a particular tissue. The therapeutic
agents can be produced
by a variety of means including chemical synthesis; recombinant production; in
vivo
production, e.g. a transgenic animal (Meade H et al, 1990) and can be isolated
using standard
CA 02587979 2007-05-18
WO 2006/053955 PCT/F12005/050429
27
means such as those described herein.
A combination of any of the above methods of treatment (e.g. administration of
non-mutant
HT susceptibility polypeptide in conjunction with antisense therapy targeting
mutant HT
susceptibility mRNA; administration of a first splicing variant encoded by an
HT risk gene in
conjunction with antisense therapy targeting a second splicing encoded by an
HT risk gene),
can also be used.
The invention will be further described by the following nonlimiting examples.
The teachings
of all publications cited herein are incorporated herein by reference in their
entirety.
EXPERIMENTAL SECTION
East Finnish HT Patients and Phenotype Characterization
The subjects were participants of the Kuopio Ischaemic Heart Disease Risk
Factor Study
(KIHD), which is an ongoing prospective population-based study designed to
investigate risk
factors for chronic diseases, including HT and CVD, in middle-aged men
(Salonen JT 1988,
Salonen JT et al 1998, 1999, Tuomainen T-P et al 1999). The study population
was a random
age-stratified sample of men living in Eastern Finland who were 42, 48, 54 or
60 years old at
baseline examinations in 1984-1989. A total of 2682 men were examined during
1984-89.
The male cohort was complemented by a random population sample of 920 women
first
examined during 1998-2001, at the time of the 11-year follow up of the male
cohort. The
recruitment and examination of the subjects has been described previously in
detail (Salonen
JT, 1988). The University of Kuopio Research Ethics Committee approved the
study. All
participants gave their written informed consent.
The analyses are based on logistic modeling in a case-control set of 81 cases
with HT (SBP
140 mmHg or more or DBP 90 mmHg or more or antihypertensive medication) and HT
in
either sibling or parent, and 82 controls who had neither HT nor family
history of HT, both
from the KIHD cohort. Three of the subjects (two cases, one control) were
women, 160 were
men. Thirty-eight of the 81 cases had antihypertensive medication at the time
of BP
measurements in the KIHD baseline examination.
HT was defined as either systolic BP (SBP) _140 mmHg or diastolic BP (DBP) _90
mmHg or
antihypertensive medication. Both BPs were measured in the morning by a nurse
with a
random-zero mercury sphygmomanometer. The measuring protocol included three
measurements in supine, one in standing and two in sitting position with 5-
minutes intervals.
The mean of all six measurements were used as SBP and DBP (Salonen JT et al,
1998). The
family history of HT was defined positive, if either father, the mother or a
sibling of the study
subject had reported a history or prevalent hypertension.

In table 1 selected characteristics of the cases and controls are summarized.
Age and tobacco
smoking were recorded on a self-administered questionnaire checked by an
interviewer.
Fasting blood glucose was measured using a glucose dehydrogenase method after
precipitation of proteins by trichloroacetic acid. Serum insulin was
determined with a Novo
Biolabs radioimmunoassay kit (Novo Nordisk). HDL fractions were separated from
fresh
serum by combined ultracentrifugation and precipitation. The cholesterol
contents of
lipoprotein fractions and serum triglycerides were measured enzymatically.
Fibrinogen was
measured based on the clotting of diluted plasma with excess thrombin.
Adulthood socioeconomical status (SES) is an index comprised of measures of
education,
occupation, income and material living conditions. The scale is inverse, low
score
corresponding to high SES. These data have been collected by a self
administered
questionnaire.
Serum ferritin was assessed with a commercial double antibody radioimmunoassay
(Amersham International, Amersham, UK). Lipoproteins, including high density
lipoprotein
(HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL), were separated from fresh serum
samples by
ultracentrifugation followed by direct very low density lipoprotein (VLDL)
removal and LDL
precipitation (Salonen et al 1991). Cholesterol concentration was then
determined
enzymically. Serum C-reactive protein was measured by a commercial high-
sensitive
immunometric assay (Immulite High Sensitivity CR Assay, DPC, Los Angeles).
Genomic DNA isolation and quality testing
High molecular weight genomic DNA samples were extracted from frozen venous
whole
blood using standard methods, and dissolved in standard TE buffer. The
quantity and purity of
each DNA sample was evaluated by measuring the absorbance at 260 and 280 nm
and
integrity of isolated DNA samples was evaluated with 0.9% agarose gel
electrophoresis and
Ethidiumbromide staining. A sample was qualified for genome wide scan (GWS)
analysis if
the A260/A280 ratio was _1.7 and the average size of isolated DNA was over 20
kb in
agarose gel electrophoresis. Before GWS, analysis samples were diluted to a
concentration of
50 ng/ l in reduced EDTA TE buffer (TEKnova).

Genome-Wide Scan
Genotyping of SNP markers was performed using the technology access version of
Affymetrix GeneChip human mapping 100k system. The assay consisted of two
arrays, Xba
and Hind, which were used to genotype over 126,000 SNP markers from each DNA
sample.
The assays were performed according to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer. A
total of 250 ng of genomic DNA was used for each individual assay. The DNA
sample was
digested with either Xba I or Hind III enzyme (New England Biolabs, NEB) in
the mixture of
NE Buffer 2 (1 x; NEB), bovine serum albumin (1 x; NEB), and either Xba I or
Hind III (0,5
U/ l; NEB) for 2h at +37 C followed by enzyme inactivation for 20 min at +70
C. Xba I or
Hind III adapters were then ligated to the digested DNA samples by adding Xba
or Hind III
adapter (0,25 M, Affymetrix), T4 DNA ligase buffer (1 x; NEB), and T4 DNA
ligase (250
U; NEB). Ligation reactions were allowed to proceed for 2h at +16 C followed
by 20 min
incubation at +70 C. Each ligated DNA sample was diluted with 75 l of
molecular biology-
grade water (BioWhittaker Molecular Applications/Cambrex).
Diluted ligated DNA samples were subjected to four identical 100 l volume
polymerase
chain reactions (PCR) by implementing a 10 l aliquot of DNA sample with Pfx
Amplification Buffer (1 x; Invitrogen), PCR Enhancer (1 x; Invitrogen), MgSO4
(1 mM;
Invitrogen), dNTP (300 M each; Takara), PCR primer (1 M; Affymetrix), and
Pfx
Polymerase (0,05 U/ l; Invitrogen). The PCR was allowed to proceed for 3 min
at +94 C,
followed by 30 cycles of 15 sec at +94 C, 30 sec at +60 C, 60 sec at +68 C,
and finally for
the final extension for 7 min at +68 C. The performance of the PCR was checked
by standard
2% agarose gel electrophoresis in 1 x TBE buffer for lh at 120V.
PCR products were purified according to the Affymetrix manual using MinElute
96 UF PCR
Purification kit (Qiagen) by combining all four PCR products of an individual
sample into the
same purification reaction. The purified PCR products were eluted with 40 l
of EB buffer
(Qiagen), and the yields of the products were measured at the absorbance 260
nm. A total of
40 g of each PCR product was then subjected to fragmentation reaction
consisting of 0.2
U/ l fragmentation reagent (Affymetrix) in lx Fragmentation Buffer. The
fragmentation
reaction was allowed to proceed for 35 min at +37 C followed by 15 min
incubation at +95 C
for enzyme inactivation. Completeness of fragmentation was checked by running
an aliquot of
each fragmented PCR product in 4% agarose 1 x TBE (BMA Reliant precast) for 30-
45 min
at 120V.
Fragmented PCR products were then labeled using 1 x Terminal Deoxinucleotidyl
Transferase (TdT) buffer (Affymetrix), GeneChip DNA Labeling Reagent (0.214
mM;
Affymetrix), and TdT (1,5 U/ l; Affymetrix) for 2h at +37 C followed by 15 min
at +95 C.
Labeled DNA samples were combined with hybridization buffer consisting of
0.056 M MES
solution (Sigma), 5% DMSO (Sigma), 2.5 x Denhardt's solution (Sigma), 5.77 mM
EDTA
(Ambion), 0.115 mg/ml Herring Sperm DNA (Promega), 1 x Oligonucleotide Control
reagent
(Affymetrix), 11.5 g/ml Human Cot-1 (Invitrogen), 0.0115% Tween-20 (Pierce),
and 2.69 M
Tetramethyl Ammonium Chloride (Sigma). DNA-hybridization buffer mix was
denatured for
10 min at +95 C, cooled on ice for 10 sec and incubated for 2 min at +48 C
prior to
hybridization onto corresponding Xba or Hind GeneChip array. Hybridization
was
completed at +48 C for 16-18 h at 60 rpm in an Affymetrix GeneChip
Hybridization Oven.
Following hybridization, the arrays were stained and washed in GeneChip
Fluidics Station
450 according to fluidics station protocol Mapping10Kv1_450 as recommended by
the
CA 02587979 2007-05-18
WO 2006/053955 PCT/FI2005/050429
manufacturer. Arrays were scanned with GeneChip 3000 Scanner and the genotype
calls for
each of the SNP markers on the array were generated using Affymetrix
Genotyping Tools
(GTT) software. The confidence score in SNP calling algorithm was adjusted to
0.20.

Initial SNP selection for statistical analysis
Prior to the statistical analysis, SNP quality was assessed on the basis of
three values: the call
rate (CR), minor allele frequency (MAF), and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (H-W).
The CR is
10 the proportion of samples genotyped successfully. It does not take into
account whether the
genotypes are correct or not. The call rate was calculated as: CR = number of
samples with
successful genotype call / total number of samples. The MAF is the frequency
of the allele
that is less frequent in the study sample. MAF was calculated as: MAF = min(p,
q), where p
is frequency of the SNP allele 'A' and q is frequency of the SNP allele 'B';
p=(number of
15 samples with "AA"-genotype + 0.5*number of samples with "AB"-genotype) /
total number
of samples with successful genotype call; q = 1- p. SNPs that are homozygous
(MAF=O)
cannot be used in genetic analysis and were thus discarded. H-W equilibrium is
tested for
controls. The test is based on the standard Chi-square test of goodness of
fit. The observed
genotype distribution is compared with the expected genotype distribution
under H-W
20 equilibrium. For two alleles this distribution is p2, 2pq, and q2 for
genotypes 'AA', 'AB' and
'BB', respectively. If the SNP is not in H-W equilibrium it can be due to
genotyping error or
some unknown population dynamics (e.g. random drift, selection).
Only the SNPs that had CR > 50%, MAF > 1%, and were in H-W equilibrium (Chi-
square
25 test statistic < 23.93) were used in the statistical analysis. A total of
107,895 SNPs fulfilled
the above criteria and were included in the statistical analysis.
Statistical Methods
30 Single SNP analysis
Differences in allele distributions between cases and controls were screened
for all 107,895
SNPs. The screening was carried out using the standard Chi-square independence
test with 1
df (allele distribution, 2x2 table). SNPs that gave a P-value less than 0.005
(Chi-square
distribution with 1 df of 7.88 or more) were considered as statistically
significant and selected
for further analysis. There were 529 SNPs that fulfilled this criterium.
Haplotype analysis
The data set was analyzed with a haplotype pattern mining algorithm either
with HPM-G
software (Sevon P et al, 2004) or with HPM software (Toivonen HT et al, 2000).
For HPM
software, genotypes must be phase known to determine which alleles come from
the mother
and which from the father. Without family data, phases must be estimated based
on
population data. We used HaploRec-program (Eronen L et al, 2004) to estimate
the phases.
HPM-G and HPM are very fast and can handle a large number of SNPs in a single
run
The difference between HPM and HPM-G is that HPM-G can use phase unknown
genotypic
data and HPM uses phase known (or estimated by HaploRec or similar program)
data. HPM-
G fmds all haplotype patterns that fit the genotype configuration. For phase-
known data HPM
CA 02587979 2007-05-18
WO 2006/053955 PCT/FI2005/050429
31
finds all haplotype patterns that are in concordance with the phase
configuration. The length
of the haplotype patterns can vary. As an example, if there are four SNPs and
an individual
has alleles A T for SNP1, C C for SNP2, C G for SNP3, and A C for SNP4, then
HPM-G
considers haplotype patterns (of length 4 SNPs): ACCA, TCGC, TCCA, ACGC, ACGA,
TCCC, TCGA, ACCC. HPM considers only haplotype patterns that are in
concordance with
the estimated phase (done by HaploRec). If the estimated phase is ACGA (from
the
mother/father) and TCCC (from the father/mother) then HPM considers only two
patterns (of
length 4 SNPs): ACGA and TCCC.
A SNP is scored based on the number of times it is included in a haplotype
pattern that differs
between cases and controls (a threshold Chi-square value can be selected by
the user).
Significance of the score values is tested based on permutation tests.
Several parameters can be modified in the HPM-G and HPM programs including the
Chi-
square threshold value (-x), the maximum haplotype pattern length (-1), the
maximum number
of wildcards that can be included in a haplotype pattern (-w), and the number
of permutation
tests in order to estimate the P-value (-p). Wildcards allow gaps in
haplotypes. The HPM-G
program was run with the following parameter settings: haplotype analysis with
5 SNPs (-x9
-15 -wl p10000). HaploRec+ HPM was run with the following parameter settings:
haplotype analysis with 5 SNPs (-x9 -15 -wl p10000). HPM-G analysis was based
on the
order of the SNP given in dbSNP122 and HaploRec+HPM was based on the order of
the SNP
given in dbSNP123. Based on 10,000 replicates (-p10000) in the HPM-G analyses
570 SNPs
were significant at P-value less than 0.005 and 642 SNPs were significant in
the HPM
analysis.
Definition of terms used in the haplotype analysis results
The term "haplotype genomic region" or "haplotype region" refers to a genomic
region that
has been found significant in the haplotype analysis (HPM, HPMG or similar
statistical
method/program). The haplotype region is defined as 100Kbp up/downstream from
the
physical position of the first/last SNP that was included in the statistical
analysis (haplotype
analysis) and was found statistically significant. This region is given in
base pairs based on
the given genome build e.g. SNP physical position (base pair position)
according to NCBI
Human Genome Build 35.
The term "haplotype" as described herein, refers to any combination of alleles
e.g. A T C C
that is found in the given genetic markers e.g rs222151 1, rs4940595,
rs1522723, rs1395266.
A defined haplotype gives the name of the genetic markers (dbSNP rs-id for the
SNPs) and
the alleles. As it is recognized by those skilled in the art, the same
haplotype can be described
differently by determining alleles from different strands e.g. the haplotype
rs222151 1,
rs4940595, rs1522723, rs1395266 (A T C C) is the same as haplotype rs222151 1,
rs4940595,
rs1522723, rs1395266 (T A G G) in which the alleles are determined from the
other strand, or
haplotype rs222151 1, rs4940595, rs1522723, rs1395266 (T T C C), in which the
first allele is
determined from the other strand.
The haplotypes described herein, e.g. having markers such as those shown in
tables 3, 4, 5, 7
and 8, are found more frequently in individuals with HT than in individuals
without HT.
Therefore, these haplotypes have predictive value for detecting HT or a
susceptibility to HT in
CA 02587979 2007-05-18
WO 2006/053955 PCT/F12005/050429
32
an individual. Therefore, detecting haplotypes can be accomplished by methods
known in the
art for detecting sequences at polymorphic sites.
It is understood that the HT associated at-risk alleles and at-risk haplotypes
described in this
invention may be associated with other "polymorphic sites" located in HT
associated genes of
this invention. These other HT associated polymorphic sites may be either
equally useful as
genetic markers or even more useful as causative variations explaining the
observed
association of at-risk alleles and at-risk haplotypes of this invention to HT.
Multivariate modeling
For modeling for hypertension as a binary outcome, the 734 strongest
predicting SNP markers
from the individual SNP analysis and 14 strongest haplotypes from the HPM
analysis were
tested for entry to the model. These were recoded as 0, if homozygote of the
major allele, 1, if
heterozygote and 2, if homozygote of the minor allele. A multivariate binary
logistic function
regression analysis was used to: a) Find the SNPs that were most predictive of
HT and b)
Construct a multivariate model that predicted HT the strongest. A forward step-
up model
construction was used with p-value to enter of 0.01 and p-value to exclude
from the model of
0.02. The predictivity of the models was estimated by two methods: the
Nagelkerke R square
and the reclassification of the subjects to cases and controls on the basis of
the logistic model
contructed. The predicted probability used as cut-off was 0.5. A data
reduction analysis was
carried out by step-down and step-up logistic modeling.
Multivariate least-squares linear regression modeling was used to identify the
SNP markers
that were most strongly associated with the mean systolic and diastolic blood
pressure as
quantitative traits. A forward step-up model construction was used with p-
value to enter of
0.001 and p-value to exclude from the model of 0.005.
The statistical software used was SPSS for Windows, version 11.5.

analyses (n = 722). Names of genes are according to HUGO Gene Nomenclature
Committee
(HGNC).
In table 7 are listed the SNP-markers and haplotypes that best predicted risk
of familial HT in
a multivariate logistic model. SNP identification numbers are according to
NCBI dbSNP
database build 124. The 8-variable model predicts 91.4% of familial HT
correctly. The
statistics are based on 81 KIHD participants who were hypertensive in the KIHD
baseline
examination (SBP 140 mmHg or more or DBP 90 mmHg or more or antihypertensive
medication) and either sibling or parent had HT and 82 KIHD participants who
neither had
HT at KIHD baseline nor had family history of HT. The controls were matched
according to
age.
In table 8 are listed the SNP-markers, haplotypes and phenotypic data that
best predicted risk
of familial HT in a multivariate logistic model. SNP identification numbers
are according to
NCBI dbSNP database build 124. The 12-variable model, including two
haplotypes, five SNP
markers and two phenotypic variables, predicted 87.1% of familial HT
correctly. The
strongest loci pinpointed by the multivariate logistic models were SERPINs B3,
B4, B7 and
B11 and EPC1, OR1J4 and LOC401406, 439953, 441550 and 441551.
Table 9 presents a multivariate linear regression model of the strongest SNPs
predicting the
mean systolic and diastolic BP. Tables 10 and 11 show the means and standard
deviations of
the mean systolic (Table 10) and diastolic (Table 11) BP in the genotypes of
the strongest
SNP markers, which predicted BP the strongest in both the univariate single-
SNP, haplotype
and multivariate analyses. The rank order of markers is according to the
strength of
association with the diastolic BP. The strongest pinpointed genes concerning
BP as
quantitative trait were SERPINS B3, B7 and B11, A100A7, S100A6, FARS1, SPOCK3,
and
TLL 1.
Implications and Conclusions
We have found 1365 SNP markers associated with the risk of HT and/or blood
pressure in a
population-based set of familial cases and healthy controls without family
history. Of these,
529 were identified in the analysis of individual SNPs and 1080 in haplotype
pattern mining
or haplotype analysis. Of the 1365 markers, 244 predicted HT in both types of
statistical
analysis. We further identified SNP markers, which predict in a multivariate
logistic model
virtually fully the development of HT.

The results of the point wise and haplotype analyses identified a total of 722
genes associated
with HT, of which 330 genes had at least one of the 1365 SNP markers
physically linked to
the gene.
Thus, we have discovered a total of 722 HT genes, in which any genetic markers
can be used
to predict HT, and thus these markers can be used as part of molecular
diagnostic tests of HT
predisposition. In addition, we have disclosed a set of 1365 SNP markers which
are predictive
of HT. The markers can also be used as part of pharmacogenetic tests
predicting the efficacy
and adverse reactions of antihypertensive agents and compounds. The genes
discovered are
also targets to new therapies of HT, such as drugs. Other therapies are
molecular, including
gene transfer. The new genes can also be used to develop and produce new
transgenic animals
for studies of antihypertensive agents and compounds.
While this invention has been particularly shown and described with reference
to preferred
embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that
various changes in
form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and
scope of the
invention as defined by the appended claims.
