Abstract excerpt
We examined whether vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) polymorphisms (C-2578A, G-1154A and G-634C) are associated with hypertension, response to antihypertensive therapy and nitric oxide (NO) formation. Substudy 1 compared the distribution of VEGF genotypes and haplotypes in 178 patients with arterial hypertension (100 whites and 78 blacks) and 186 healthy controls (115 whites and 71 blacks). Substudy 2...
