[Although Ser482 Ser PGC-1alpha homozygotes had lower WHRs than other PGC-1alpha genotypes, they were more frequent in the hypertensive group than in the normotensive (44.4 vs 24.5%, P<0.03), so the 482 Ser PGC-1 allele was in our population a risk factor for hypertension independently of WHR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, BMI and Pro12 Ala PPARgamma variant (odds ratio=4.0, 95% confidence interval 1.5-10.6, P<0.01).].
