The current study aimed to identify the genetic variants in the <jats:italic>SLCO1B1<\/jats:italic> gene that might be associated with ACEI-related cough in a Pakistani hypertensive population.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A prospective cohort study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan. A total of 74 patients who had been treated with ACEIs were recruited through a convenient sampling method. The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board &amp;amp; Ethics Committee of the Shifa International Hospital, Islamabad. Patients provided 2\u00a0ml of blood for sequencing after signing informed consent. Partial gene sequencing of <jats:italic>SLCO1B1<\/jats:italic> was carried out to find single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>It was found, through a structured questionnaire, that thirty-eight (38) patients experienced cough within 2\u00a0weeks of ACEI administration and were considered as a case group (cough), and thirty-six (36) patients were considered as a control group (no cough). The incidence of cough was 51%. We found six different SNPs and 9 haplotypes in the partial gene sequences of <jats:italic>SLCO1B1.<\/jats:italic> Haplotype H4 was associated significantly with cough after adjusting for sex and smoking status. Other SNPs and haplotypes were not significantly associated with ACE-Is-induced cough.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>These findings emphasize the significance of <jats:italic>SLCO1B1<\/jats:italic> genetic variants, specifically H4, as a potential predictor of ACEI-induced cough. It could be included in clinical practice as a possible risk factor for ACEI-induced cough once confirmed in larger clinical trials with bigger sample sizes. The replication of these findings in larger and more diverse populations is likely to contribute to the therapeutic use of ACEIs by predicting ACEI-induced cough.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fphar.2024.1441251","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,4]],"date-time":"2024-09-04T04:39:42Z","timestamp":1725424782000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Association of SLCO1B1 gene variants with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor-induced cough in a Pakistani hypertensive cohort"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Arooj Fatima","family":"Sheikh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nayla","family":"Munawar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rukhsana","family":"Nawaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hizbullah","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mehwish","family":"Rafique","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Faryal","family":"Jahan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sagheer","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","first-page":"66","article-title":"Compliance to antihypertensive drugs, salt restriction, exercise and control of systemic hypertension in hypertensive patients at Abbottabad","volume":"20","author":"Ahmed","year":"2008","journal-title":"J.
