Abstract excerpt
The renin-angiotensin system plays an important role in the regulation of blood pressure via angiotensin II and the angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1R). Human AT1R gene promoter has four SNPs: T/A at -777, T/G at -680, A/C at -214, and A/G at -119, that are in linkage disequilibrium. Variants -777T, -680T, -214A, and -119A almost always occur together (named haplotype I), and variants -777A, -680G, -214C, and...
