Autosomal dominant hypertension and brachydactyly in a Turkish kindred resembles essential hypertension

Hypertension

Abstract

We examined a Turkish kindred with a unique form of autosomal dominant hypertension that cosegregates 100% with brachydactyly and maps to chromosome 12p. Affected adults were 10 to 15 cm shorter than unaffected people; however, their body mass index (27 kg/m2) was not different. Blood pressure increased steeply with age in the affected people so that by age 40 years, they had a mean blood pressure of 140 mm Hg, compared with 92 mm Hg in unaffected individuals. Complete clinical, roentgenographic, and laboratory evaluation was performed in 6 subjects, including 24-hour blood pressure measurements and humoral determinations before and after volume expansion with 2 L normal saline over 4 hours followed by volume contraction on the following day with a 20-mmol sodium diet and 40 mg furosemide at 8 AM, noon, and 4 PM. Two affected men aged 46 and 31 years; 3 affected women aged 40, 31, and 30 years; and 1 unaffected man aged 29 years were studied. Systolic pressures ranged from 170 to 250 mm Hg, and diastolic pressures ranged from 100 to 150 mm Hg in affected people; the unaffected man had a blood pressure of 120/70 mm Hg. Thyroid, adrenal, and renal functions were normal; electrolyte and acid-base statuses were normal. Calcium and ...Continue Reading
