Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Previously, we described the presence of 5 haplotypes (A to E) at the angiotensinogen (AGT) promoter and reported a significant association between the B-haplotype (nucleotide substitutions -6:G-->A and -20:A-->C compared with the wild-type A-haplotype) and magnetic resonance imaging correlates of cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD). The association was independent of hypertension,...
