The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of  ADM  genetic variant and HBP among Lithuanian adolescents aged 12–15 years. This is a cross-sectional study of a randomly selected sample of 675 12–15-years-old schoolchildren who were surveyed during November 2010 to April 2012 in the baseline survey. Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of  ADM  gene (rs7129220) was evaluated using real-time PCR. Logistic regression analyses were used to test the associations of  ADM  (rs7129220) polymorphism with HBP under four inheritance models based on the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and to calculate the odds ratios. In the multivariate analysis, boys carrying  ADM  AG genotype (vs. carriers of  ADM  GG genotype),  ADM  AG + AA genotype (vs. carriers of  ADM  GG genotype) and  ADM  AG genotype (vs. carriers of  ADM  GG + AA genotype) had higher odds of having hypertension in codominant, dominant, and overdominant inheritance models. Girls with  ADM  AG + AA had increased odds of prehypertension compared to girls with the  ADM  GG genotype carriers in dominant inheritance model. Significant associations were observed in additive models separately for boys (hypertension) and girls (prehypertension). Our results indicate that  ADM  gene polymorphism was significantly associated with higher odds of HBP in Lithuanian adolescents aged 12–15 years.
