In recent years, conclusive data have emerged on a relationship between immune system, especially the T-cell, and blood pressure (BP). The objective of the present study was to determine the association between BP and four polymorphisms in CD80, CD86, CD28 and CTLA4 genes that code for key proteins in the T-cell co-stimulation process, in a female cohort. To that end, an association study in a cohort of 934 women over 40 years old from two hospitals was done. Raw data showed a significant association between the SNP rs1129055 of CD86 gene and BP. Analyzing this association against inheritance patterns, higher SBP (p 0.000) and DBP (p = 0.005) values were observed in AA than in GG/GA genotype subjects in the largest sample cohort (Hospital 1). In multivariate linear regression studies, with adjustment for presumed independent predictors of BP, the SNP of the CD86 gene remained a predictor of SBP (p = 0.001) and DBP (p = 0.006), as did the SNP rs867234 of the CD80 gene for DBP (p 0.000), both resisting the Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. As conclusion, we report a robust association between the SNP rs1129055 of CD86 gene and BP. The SNP rs867234 of CD80 gene was also shown to be a strong predictor of DBP.
