Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Variation in the region of chromosome 8 including the genes steroid 11beta-hydroxylase (CYP11B1) and aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) influences mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid metabolism. However, the relative importance of polymorphisms in CYP11B1 and CYP11B2 in determining these phenotypes is unknown. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to investigate genetic influences of the CYP11B1 and CYP11B2 genes on...
