Abstract excerpt
The genes of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) are involved in progression of renal failure. We examined the A1166C polymorphism at the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1R) locus in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The distribution of genotype and allele frequencies was compared in 430 dialysis patients and 260 healthy controls. DNA samples were amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and...
