Heritability of angiotensin-converting enzyme and angiotensinogen: A comparison of US blacks and Nigerians.

Hypertension (Dallas, Tex. : 1979) - 1 May 2000

Abstract excerpt

Angiotensinogen (AGT) and angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) are heritable traits, but whether the environmental context influences heritability has not been examined. Known genetic factors explain only a portion of variation in AGT and ACE, and levels of both proteins are influenced by the environment. The African diaspora provides an opportunity to compare these traits in genetically related populations in...
