Abstract excerpt
We systematically investigated the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the natriuretic peptide system (NPPA, NPPB, NPPC, NPRA, NPRC, and Corin genes) and blood pressure in a Chinese population. The study population was recruited from a mountainous area 500 km south of Shanghai from 2003 to 2009. Using the ABI SNapShot method, we first genotyped 951 subjects enrolled in 2005 for 16 SNPs...
