Abstract excerpt
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in coding regions (coding SNPs; cSNPs) with amino acid substitution can potentially alter protein function. Therefore, identification of the nonsynonymous cSNPs of the genes of common diseases is valuable in tests of association with phenotypes. In this study, we validated 525 candidate cSNPs from 179 hypertension candidate genes deposited in the publicly available...
