Influence of AGTR1 and ABCB1 Gene Polymorphism on the Curative Effect of Irbesartan by Qiao Wang, Lingsen You, Zeyu Li, Leiyi Zhang, Xueqi Li, Xuesong Yang

“…The results of multiple linear regression models showed that no statistically significant differences were observed in blood pressure change following irbesartan administration in each genotype from either ABCB1 (CC, CT, and TT) or AGTR1 (AA and AC). However, spline smoothing analysis demonstrated that the blood pressure therapeutic responses of irbesartan presented a noticeable difference among different ABCB1 genotypes when irbesartan doses reached over 300 ng/mL. …”
