Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The natriuretic peptides play a key role in the modulation of left ventricular mass (LVM) and blood pressure (BP). We hypothesised that NPPA (natriuretic peptide precursor A gene), NPPB (natriuretic peptide precursor B gene), and NPPC (natriuretic peptide precursor C gene) are candidate genes possibly involved in the development or modulation of LVM at early life. AIM: To assess the relationship...
