Risk conferred by FokI polymorphism of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene for essential hypertension
1 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene serves as a good candidate gene for susceptibility to several diseases. The gene has a critical role in regulating the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) influencing the regulation of blood pressure. Hence determining the association of VDR polymorphisms with essential hypertension is expected to help in the evaluation of risk for the condition. AIM: The aim of this study...
