Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: BRD4 and PIN1 have been described to be involved in inflammation and vascular endothelial cell dysfunction, which in turn may increase pulse pressure. HYPOTHESIS: Genetic mutations within the BRD4 and PIN1 genes could affect the risk of high pulse pressure. METHODS: A total of four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (BRD4: rs4808278; PIN1: rs2233678, rs2287838, and rs2233682) were genotyped in a...
