Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1 (PPARGC1/PGC-1) is a transcriptional coactivator of nuclear hormone receptors implicated in blood pressure regulation. We therefore ascertained whether the PPARGC1 gene locus is associated with hypertension. We studied associations of 3 polymorphisms in PPARGC1 transcripts with hypertension in 683 middle-aged men and 530 middle-aged women of a...
