Besides traditional and emerging cardiovascular risk factors, genetic factors may also promote deleterious alterations of endothelial physiology. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between the 460Trp allele of ADD1 and endothelium-dependent vasodilation in 110 never-treated hypertensive patients....
