Abstract excerpt
The G-protein beta3 subunit (GNB3) C825T polymorphism was detected through a classical candidate gene approach using cell lines with enhanced G-protein activation from patients with essential hypertension. The 825T allele is associated with the expression of a shortened, functionally active splice variant of the G-protein beta3 subunit and enhanced intracellular signal transduction. Independent studies have...
