Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The rate-limiting step of the renin-angiotensin system is the enzymatic cleavage of angiotensinogen (AGT) by renin. The aims of the present study were to investigate the association between AGT T704C (M235T) and -217 G→A polymorphisms with the risk of preeclampsia and synergistic effects of both polymorphisms on the susceptibility to preeclampsia. METHODS: We studied AGT variants in 170 women with...
