BackgroundSodium-lithium countertransport (SLC) is a premorbidity marker of essential hypertension. Evidence from linkage analysis and kinetic studies in humans have suggested thatSLC20A1variations may affect SLC activity as measured in erythrocytes and leukocytes.SLC20A1encodes a sodium-dependent phosphate cotransporter, and is widely expressed on the mammalian plasma membrane. In this study, we investigated the relationship betweenSLC20A1and SLC activity.MethodsBy means of gene expression profiling, we studied the expressions ofSLC20A1in individuals with high SLC activity as compared to those with low SLC activity. In order to investigate the allelic association ofSLC20A1with SLC, we genotyped six tag single-nucleotide polymorphisms (tSNPs) in SLC20A1 in subjects from the Rochester Family Heart Study (RFHS) involving 1,815 individuals from 252 pedigrees of mixed European ancestry. The genetic association ofSLC20A1with SLC was assessed by Sequential Oligogenic Linkage Analysis Routines (SOLAR).ResultsExpression levels of SLC20A1 were higher in individuals with high SLC activity than in those with low SLC activity. Four SNPs inSLC20A1were associated with SLC activity after adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, triglycerides, and antihypertensive drug treatment (P≤ 0.05). The strongest evidence of association was in respect of rs4849091 (P= 0.001), and this association remained significant even after correction for multiple tests.ConclusionsAllelic variations inSLC20A1were associated with the levels of SLC activity, thereby supporting the hypothesis thatSLC20A1is involved in determining SLC activity.American Journal of Hypertensionadvance online publication 28 July 2011; doi:10.1038/ajh.2011.130
