Abstract excerpt
Mice deficiency in regulator of G-protein signaling 2(RGS2) showed an evident hypertension phenotype. Here, we studied associations of genetic variations of RGS2 with essential hypertension in the Kazakh population. Two identified nonsynonymous mutations (K18N, Y178C) were not specific for hypertension. A significant association was observed between 1891-1892 TC insertion/deletion with hypertension in men (OR =...
