Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to determine whether specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and their reconstructed haplotypes in renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) genes were associated with antihypertensive reduction to irbesartan treatment. Thousand one forty-two hypertensives were recruited and received 150 mg irbesartan daily for 4 weeks. Blood pressures (BPs) and blood samples, at postdose on...
