AbstractBACKGROUND: Studies on the relationship between endothelial nitric oxide (NOS3) gene variants and hypertension have been conflicting. To explore this hypothesis further, we performed a meta-analysis and re-evaluated the relationship between the three most widely studied NOS3 polymorphisms and hypertension status and blood pressure levels. METHODS: Data on 40 413 subjects from 53 studies were combined in five distinct meta-analyses, and heterogeneity and publication bias were explored. RESULTS: Heterogeneity was observed in all meta-analyses. By a random-effects model, carriers of the four 27-basepair repeat variable number of tandem repeats in intron 4 were associated with a 28% increase in the risk of hypertension compared with those homozygous for the 5 repeat: odds ratio (OR) 1.28, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.11-1.47, P = 0.001. In Asian individuals, Asp allele carriers displayed a similar association: OR 1.28, 95% CI 1.06-1.54, P = 0.01, as well as a 2 mmHg increase in both systolic (P = 0.04) and diastolic (P = 0.009) blood pressure levels. Furthermore, meta-regression analysis indicated that the effect of the Glu298Asp genotype on the risk of hypertension might be dependent on total cholesterol status. No effect of the T-786C variant on hypertension was detected. There was evidence that such findings might be a result of selectively reporting/publishing positive reports. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that current data on the relationship between NOS3 variants and hypertension are subject not only to important heterogeneity but also to publication bias. Future research should preferentially focus on gene-environment interactions as well as haplotype analyses. © 2007 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.
