Susceptibility
  • susceptibility factor in obesity in Inuits
  • to essential hypertension and impaired left ventricular diastolic filling
  • to diabetes only in subjects with low salt consumption
  • to depression
  • to variation of platelet aggregation in human whole blood
  • Variant & Polymorphism SNP
  • C825T, susceptibility to essential hypertension, obesity and cardiovascular disease
  • C825T polymorphism were significantly associated with diabetes only in subjects with low salt consumption
  • CC homozygotes at marker rs4963516 had higher mean diastolic (DBP), and mean arterial (MAP)blood pressure
  • relationship between GNB3 C825T and depression
  • GNB3 825CC genotype is associated with enhanced platelet aggregation
  • Candidate gene

    Therapy target
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Gnb3(-/-) cones produce stable responses with normal kinetics and saturating response amplitudes similar to that of the wild-type, suggesting that cone phototransduction can function efficiently without a GNB subunit
