Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Prolylcarboxypeptidase (PRCP) is both involved in the Kallikrein-Kinin system (KKS) and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). This study aimed to determine the genetic impact of PRCP gene polymorphisms on essential hypertension (EH) in an isolated population from a remote region of China. METHODS: A haplotype-based study was investigated in 346 EH patients and 346 normal subjects and all samples...
