Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Recent studies have suggested that fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) may predispose individuals to develop hypertension. However, the results have been inconsistent. We performed a meta-analysis to investigate the relationship of FTO gene variant with risk of hypertension and influence of body mass index (BMI) on this risk. MATERIALS/METHODS: A systematic literature search in PubMed, Embase...
