<B>Previously, we discovered 3 polymorphisms in the prostacyclin synthase (PGIS) gene: 1) T-192G, in the 5′-flanking region, a novel single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that is not associated with essential hypertension (EH); 2) a variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism, 6 nucleotides upstream from the ATG start codon, that is associated with risk of cerebral infarction; and 3) C1117A, in exon 8, an SNP that does not cause an amino acid change in codon 373, and that is associated with risk of myocardial infarction (MI). The purpose of the present study was to establish haplotypes of the PGIS gene consisting of these 3 polymorphisms, and to assess the association between these haplotypes and EH. We detected 19 haplotypes. There was no significant difference in the overall distribution of haplotypes between EH and normotensive subjects. To summarize, we successfully identified haplotypes of the PGIS gene, and these haplotypes were not associated with EH. (<I>Hypertens Res</I> 2003; 26: 553-557)</B>
