Abstract excerpt
1. The 5-HT(2A) receptor belongs to the G-protein superfamily. It plays an important role in vascular regulation. 2. Previous reports in the UK have indicated that there is an association of the T102C genetic polymorphism of the 5-HT(2A) receptor with hypertension, but no studies have been made on the T102C genetic polymorphism in Chinese hypertensive patients. In the present study, we investigated the T102C...
