additional information | identification of naurally occuring single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including the rs13175330 polymorphism. The presence of the G allele of the gene PAM rs13175330 A>G SNP is associated with a higher risk of hypertension after adjustments for age, sex, BMI, smoking, and drinking. The rs13175330 G allele carriers in the hypertension group treated without antihypertensive therapy (HTN w/o therapy) have significantly higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure than the AA genotype carriers, whereas the G allele carriers in the hypertension group treated with antihypertensive therapy (HTN w/ therapy) show significantly higher diastolic blood pressure. The rs13175330 G allele carriers in the HTN w/o therapy group have significantly increased levels of insulin, insulin resistance, and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and significantly decreased LDL-cholesterol levels and LDL particle sizes compared to the AA carriers | Homo sapiens |

malfunction | the rs13175330 polymorphism of the PAM gene is selected from the ten single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) most strongly associated with blood pressure. The presence of the G allele of the PAM rs13175330 A>G SNP is associated with a higher risk of hypertension after adjustments for age, sex, BMI, smoking, and drinking. The PAM rs13175330 A>G SNP is a candidate gene for hypertension in the Korean population. Additionally, the PAM rs13175330 G allele might be associated with insulin resistance and LDL atherogenicity in patients with hypertension. Phenotypes, overview | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | peptidylglycine-alpha-amidating monooxygenase (PAM) may play a role in the secretion of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), which is a hormone involved in the maintenance of blood pressure. Enzyme PAM is involved in regulation of blood pressure and hypertension | Homo sapiens |
