| Abstract | Recently, the ER22/23EK, N363S and BclI polymorphisms in the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) gene have been linked to altered cortisol sensitivity and to cortisol-associated disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of these genetic variants in the GR gene on cardiovascular disease and mortality in elderly persons aged 85 years and over. In the population-based Leiden 85-plus Study, 552 participants were genotyped for the ER22/23EK, N363S and BclI polymorphisms, and the effects of the polymorphisms on metabolic profile, body composition, and on the prevalence of cardiovascular pathologies at baseline, were assessed. Allcause and cardiovascular disease mortality risks␣dependent on the SNPs were calculated after a 4.2-year follow-up. The analyses of metabolic profile revealed that carriers of the ER22/23EK polymorphism have higher HbA1C levels (P<0.001) and carriers of the N363S SNP have higher LDL cholesterol (P<0.001) and triglyceride concentrations (P=0.03), compared to the non-carriers. The only significant association between genotype and body composition analyses was for height and the ER22/23EK polymorphism. Men carrying the ER22/23EK polymorphism were taller (P=0.02) compared to non-carriers. No associations with cardiovascular pathologies, allcause and cardiovascular mortality were observed for any of the polymorphisms. We conclude that, in spite the effect of the ER22/23EK and N363S SNPs on metabolism, these polymorphisms together with the BclI SNP, do not affect the risks of cardiovascular disease and survival at old age. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
