A missense mutation (Gly40Ser) in exon 2 of the glucagon receptor gene (GCG-R) was shown to reduce ligand affinity and impair cAMP response. We conducted a case-control study with a sample of 741 French hypertensive patients with moderate to severe hypertension and 412 normotensive control subjects, who were genotyped for this biallelic variant by use of hybridization with allele-specific oligonucleotides.
