Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study was to clarify the association of the angiotensinogen gene (AGT) with insulin sensitivity using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and haplotype analyses in a white cohort. A candidate gene association study was conducted in white persons with and without hypertension (N = 449). Seventeen SNPs of the AGT gene and their haplotypes were analyzed for an association with homeostasis model...
