Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Chronic allograft dysfunction (CAD) is a complex phenomenon caused by underlying kidney disease and superimposed environmental and genetic factors. We investigated the association of polymorphisms in the genes for angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), angiotensinogen (AGT), angiotensin II receptor type 1 (ATR1) and type 2 (ATR2), and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (ENOS) with the initiation of CAD....
