Abstract excerpt
Several studies have shown an association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the angiotensinogen (AGT) gene and hypertension. Because hypertension is a risk factor for left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and because evidence from animal models suggests that AGT may play a role in the growth and hypertrophy of the heart, we chose to conduct a population association study examining the relationship of...
