Abstract excerpt
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ2 (PPARγ2) gene has been implicated in the etiology of hypertension. However, the results have been inconsistent. In this study, a meta-analysis was performed to assess the association of PPARγ2 rs1801282 polymorphism with hypertension risk.
