Abstract excerpt
We studied the association between of cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) gene polymorphism and risk of essential hypertension development depending on alcohol drinking habit in unrelated men in Russian population (patients with essential hypertension and healthy volunteers). All participants were genotyped for four CYP2E1 gene polymorphisms -1293G>C (rs3813867), -1053C>T (rs2031920), 7632T>A (rs6413432), and 9896C>G...
