Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hypertensive states could result from constitutive activation of mineralorticoid receptor (MR) that generates salt retention and blood pressure elevation. Moreover, microsatellite regions can be associated to the regulation of the gene expression, producing subtle pathologies. AIM: To determine the influence of microsatellite marker AGAT of the mineralocorticoid receptor gene in the plasma renin...
