Genome Wide Association Study Identifies the HMGCS2 Locus to be Associated With Chlorthalidone Induced Glucose Increase in Hypertensive Patients

Background Thiazide and thiazide‐like diuretics are first‐line medications for treating uncomplicated hypertension. However, their use has been associated with adverse metabolic events, including hyperglycemia and incident diabetes mellitus, with incompletely understood mechanisms. Our goal was to i...

Description
Summary:Background Thiazide and thiazide‐like diuretics are first‐line medications for treating uncomplicated hypertension. However, their use has been associated with adverse metabolic events, including hyperglycemia and incident diabetes mellitus, with incompletely understood mechanisms. Our goal was to identify genomic variants associated with thiazide‐like diuretic/chlorthalidone‐induced glucose change. Methods and Results Genome‐wide analysis of glucose change after treatment with chlorthalidone was performed by race among the white (n=175) and black (n=135) participants from the PEAR‐2 (Pharmacogenomic Evaluation of Antihypertensive Responses‐2). Single‐nucleotide polymorphisms with P
