Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: We have recently resequenced apelin and AGTRL1 genes to identify candidate polymorphisms in family-based association with hypertension and related phenotypes. In this study, we aimed to determine and replicate these polymorphisms via a larger, independent case-control study in Shanghai Han Chinese. METHODS: Two polymorphisms [rs3761581 (A/C) and T-1860C] in apelin gene and two [rs7119375...
