A common variant at codon 235 of the angiotensinogen gene with methionine to threonine amino acid substitution (AGT M235T) has been reported as a genetic risk for essential hypertension. However, the frequency of AGT T235 was heterogeneous among races, and a positive association between AGT M235T and hypertension was not settled. To examine the association in a general population of Japanese (n=4013), we...
