Abstract
BACKGROUND: The role of copy number variation (CNV) has been poorly explored in essential hypertension in part due to technical difficulties in accurately assessing absolute numbers of DNA copies. Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) provides a powerful new approach to CNV quantitation. The aim of our study was to investigate whether CNVs located in regions previously associated with blood pressure (BP) variation in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were associated with essential hypertension by the use of ddPCR.Entities:

Figure 1Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) according to the genotype of CNVs. According to the genotype for the CNVs esv27061 and esv2757747, there was no statistically significant difference in (A) SBP and (B) DBP in the extreme high blood pressure (BP) group. According to the genotype for the CNV dgv1306e1, there was no difference in (C) SBP and (D) DBP in the extreme low blood pressure group, while (E) there was a significant decrease in DBP in the extreme high BP group (* indicates P = 0.024), and (F) no change in SBP. Independent-sample Wilcoxon tests were performed between subjects with losses or gains in copy number in each BP group. Graphs represent mean, error bars represent standard deviation.
