Abstract excerpt
Previously, we discovered 3 polymorphisms in the prostacyclin synthase (PGIS) gene: 1) T-192G, in the 5-flanking region, a novel single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that is not associated with essential hypertension (EH); 2) a variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism, 6 nucleotides upstream from the ATG start codon, that is associated with risk of cerebral infarction; and 3) C1117A, in exon 8, an SNP...
