Abstract excerpt
Identifying predictors of left ventricular hypertrophy has been an active study topic because of its association with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We examined the epistatic effect (gene-gene interaction) of two genes (angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D); angiotensinogen (AGT) -6G-A, M235T, -20A-C) in the renin-angiotensin system on left ventricular mass (LVM) among hypertensive...
