Abstract excerpt
Obesity is a major risk for hypertension. However, the associations between hypertension susceptibility loci and the risk of obesity as well as the effects of gene-gene interactions are unclear, especially in the Chinese children population. Six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (ATP2B1 rs17249754, CSK rs1378942, MTHFR rs1801133, CYP17A1 rs1004467, STK39 rs3754777, FGF5 ) were genotyped for 3503...
