Abstract excerpt
Angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) has been proved to be involved in a cardioprotective role, but only a few studies have addressed the association of AT2R-genotype with this role. Whether the AT2R genotype is associated with hypertension is controversial. The aim of the study was to explore the information of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the AT2R gene in Cantonese, an essential subpopulation of...
