Abstract excerpt
Vitamin D deficiency can lead to high blood pressure. Polymorphisms in the vitamin D hydroxylase gene have been associated with serum vitamin D levels in some Western countries. The aim of this study was to investigate whether polymorphisms of hydroxylase genes in the vitamin D metabolic pathway contribute to hypertension by affecting serum vitamin D status in a Han Chinese population. We selected four single...
