Abstract excerpt
Angiotensin II (AII) acts as a growth factor in local systems, mediating diverse effects such as cellular proliferation and apoptosis. These effects are controlled through two main receptor subtypes: AGTR1 and AGTR2. We studied the haplotype frequencies of both receptor genes in women with preeclamptic pregnancies and normotensive pregnant women. We also looked for any association between AGTR1 genotype at sites...
