Essential arterial hypertension and polymorphism of angiotensinogen M235T gene.

Abstract excerpt

Several candidate genes, chosen from the renin- angiotensin system, were examined for their association with essential hypertension. The genes of the renin- angiotensin system (RAS) are good candidates for such an approach because this system is well known to be involved in the control of blood pressure. One of these candidate genes is the gene encoding for angiotensinogen (the most important gene of the RAS...
