Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Hypertension (HT) is a complex disorder influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Recent genome-wide association studies have identified a major risk locus for atherosclerosis on chromosome 9p21.3. SNPs within the coding sequences of CDKN2A/B and the long non-coding RNA CDKN2B-AS1 could potentially contribute to HT development. Thus, this study aimed to investigate whether the frequency of...
