Abstract:Objective To explore the relationship between plasma homocysteine(Hcy)and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase(MTHFR)gene polymorphisms with morning blood pressure surge(MBPS).Methods A total of 122 patients with essential hypertension diagnosed and treated in our hospital from November 2015 to December 2016 were selected.According to 24 ambulatory blood pressuremonitoring(ABPM)results,the difference between morning systolic blood pressure and night sleep systolic blood pressure was less than 35 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 ka),the control group (n=52)had no MBPS phenomenon,and the observation group(n=70)had MBPS phenomenon.All subjects were tested with blood from the anterior elbow vein on an empty stomach in the morning,and the level of urinary microalbumin,serum uric acid,serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen were detected by automatic biochemical analyzer.The level of plasma Hcy was detected by circulating enzyme method and MTHFR C677T genotype was detected by PCR fluorescence method.The relationship between the level of plasma Hcy and the distribution of MTHFR C677T genotype with morning peak blood pressure was observed.Results The Hcy level of the observation group was higher than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The TT frequency of MTHFR C677T genotype in observation group was higher than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The plasma Hcy level of TT genotype in the observation group was higher than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that Hcy level was a risk factor for the occurrence of MBPS(P<0.05).The genotype of MTHFR 677 TT was a risk factor for the occurrence of MBPS(P<0.05).Conclusion Hcy level and MTHFR 677TT genotype were closely related to MBPS,and the pure and mutation of MTHFRC 677T results in the increase of Hcy level,which indirectly participates in the formation of MBPS.
