Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: While genetic variants of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) may modify the blood pressure (BP) response to thiazide diuretics, there was no evidence of genetic variations in renin (REN) playing a role. This study aimed to address the potential effects of genetic variations of RAAS on the response to initial treatment of hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We enrolled...
