Abstract excerpt
The plasma renin activity (PRA) is affected by a number of environmental factors. However, significant heritability has been shown for the activity. A hypothesis that a candidate regulatory single-nucleotide polymorphism, C-5312T, of human renin gene should have a significant effect on PRA was elucidated and updating of independent determinants of PRA was attempted. Cross sectional study. Outpatient study. We...
