Abstract excerpt
Many studies have suggested that heme oxygenase-1 (HMOX1) might be implicated in blood pressure (BP) regulation. We hypothesized that this gene might be responsible for the variation of susceptibility to essential hypertension (EH) and BP and investigated three polymorphisms in HMOX1 (i.e., the (GT)n repeat in the HMOX1 promoter and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs2071746 and rs2071749) in...
