Renin angiotensinogen system gene polymorphisms and essential hypertension among people of West African descent: a systematic review.

Journal of human hypertension - 1 Aug 2016

Reiter L M, Christensen D L, Gjesing A P

Abstract excerpt

This systematic review investigates the high level of hypertension found among urban dwellers in West Africa and in the West African Diaspora in the Americas in relation to variants within the genes encoding the renin angiotensinogen system. For comparison, the results from the Caucasian populations are reviewed as well. Through a PubMed search, 1252 articles were identified and 28 eligible articles assessed in...
