Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Essential hypertension (EH) results from a complex interaction between environmental factors and an individual's genetic background. AIM: To assess the relationship between polymorphisms in GSTM1 and GSTT1 and the risk of EH. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A multiplex-PCR was used to identify the genotypic profiles of GSTM1 and GSTT1 in 160 patients and 210 controls. RESULTS: The frequency of GSTM1-null...
