Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Malignant hypertension can be considered an extreme phenotype of renin-mediated hypertension. Therefore, we compared the allelic frequencies of the angiotensinogen (AGT) M235T, angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion (ACE I/D) and angiotensin II-type I receptor (AT1R) A1166C polymorphisms in malignant hypertensive patients with hypertensive and normotensive controls. METHODS: A total of 101...
