Abstract excerpt
In addition to regulating renal sodium resorption and, thus, intravascular volume, aldosterone may have direct effects on the cardiovascular system. We previously identified a polymorphism (-344C/T) in the promoter of the aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) gene that affects binding of the SF-1 transcription factor and thus might influence gene expression. We found that, whereas this polymorphism has inconsistent...
