Abstract excerpt
The C825T polymorphism of the beta-3 subunit of the protein G (GNB3) has been related to an increased activity of the Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE-1) through the synthesis of an anomalous hyperactive protein. Because of the important role of this system in essential hypertension (EH), we analysed the distribution of the different genotypes of this polymorphism in normotensive subjects (NS) and essential hypertensive...
