Abstract

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in coding regions (coding SNPs; cSNPs) with amino acid substitution can potentially alter protein function. Therefore, identification of the nonsynonymous cSNPs of the genes of common diseases is valuable in tests of association with phenotypes. In this study, we validated 525 candidate cSNPs from 179 hypertension candidate genes deposited in the publicly available database dbSNP by DNA sequencing of samples from 32 Japanese individuals. We identified a total of 143 SNPs (27%) in 93 hypertension candidate genes. We also identified 16 new SNPs, for a total of 159 SNPs. Of the 159 SNPs thus identified, 104 were nonsynonymous. We estimate that approximately 20% of the SNPs deposited in dbSNP database showed a minor allele frequency of over 5%. The candidate SNPs for hypertension identified in this study would be valuable for association studies with hypertension to accelerate the identification of hypertension genes.
