Abstract excerpt
This study was aimed to determine whether the leptin receptor Gln223Arg polymorphism has an effect on plasma leptin levels and left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertension. The genotypes and allelic frequencies of the leptin receptor Gln223Arg were examined using the polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism in 190 hypertensive patients and 88 healthy controls. Logarithmic (log)...
