Abstract excerpt
The glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptors are known to play a crucial role in cellular responses to acute and chronic stress conditions. However, the influence of genetic variants and regulatory mechanisms within the glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptor genes NR3C1 and NR3C2 is still incompletely understood. We therefore investigated putative upstream open reading frames, a motif regulating gene...
