Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of polymorphisms of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) genes in modulating outdoor temperature-related blood pressure (BP) responses. Data for RAS gene polymorphisms, BP and outdoor temperature were collected from 4903 subjects from February 2003 to August 2004. Generalized additive and linear models were used to determine whether genetic variants of RAS affected the...
