Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A recent genome-wide linkage study mapped blood pressure (BP)-related loci on human chromosome 1q and identified the regulator of G-protein signaling 5 (RGS5) as a candidate for regulation of BP. Thus, we assessed the relationship between RGS5 genetic polymorphisms and essential hypertension (EH) in Chinese. METHODS: A total of 906 patients with EH and 894 age- and gender-matched normotensive (NT)...
