Predisposition to essential hypertension is associated with gene polymorphisms of the renin angiotensin system (RAS). Gene polymorphisms of the angiotensinogen and angiotensin converting enzyme genes are known to be risk factors for hypertension, while few studies concerning the renin gene polymorphism have been published. In the present investigation, we carried out a case control study using a Japanese population to examine the genetic influence of the renin gene on the predisposition to hypertension. Patients (<I>n</I>=235) recruited from outpatients at Osaka University Hospital and diagnosed with essential hypertension or receiving long-term antihypertensive medication participated in the study. Normotensive control subjects (<I>n</I>=510) without a history of hypertension and without diabetes mellitus were recruited from the same population, and were sex-matched with experimental subjects. A polymorphism in intron 9 of the human renin gene was determined as the <I>Mbo</I> I restriction fragment length polymorphism (<I>Mbo</I> I-RFLP). There was no significant association between <I>Mbo</I> I-RFLP of the renin gene and predisposition to essential hypertension in Japanese (<I>p</I>>0.05, χ<SUP>2</SUP>=2.1). These results suggest that the <I>Mbo</I> I (+) allele of the renin gene does not increase the risk for hypertension in Japanese. (Hypertens Res 2001; 24: 295-298)
