Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Previous studies indicate that the endothelin system is involved in hypertension, heart failure, atherosclerosis, chronic kidney disease, and diabetes. To explore the potential genetic effects of copy number variations (CNVs) on the endothelin system, which underlie these diseases, we...
