Abstract excerpt
The T(-344)C polymorphism in promoter of CYP11B2 gene encoding aldosterone synthase has been associated with differences in plasma aldosterone (ALDO) concentrations. In addition, the results of recent study carried out in Japan suggest that C(-344) allele of CYP11B2 may be a genetic marker of sal...
