Abstract excerpt
Hypertension is a serious health problem particularly for African-Americans. Previous studies have suggested that angiotensinogen (AGT) gene locus is involved in human essential hypertension. We have recently shown that an A/G polymorphism at -217 in the promoter of the AGT gene is associated with essential hypertension especially in African-Americans. We report here that A/G polymorphism at -217 affects the...
