Fok I and Bsm I gene polymorphism of vitamin D receptor and essential hypertension: a mechanistic link
1 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
The vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene serves as a good candidate gene for susceptibility to essential hypertension. The gene regulates the renin angiotensin system by influencing blood pressure regulation. Around 3% of the human genome is regulated by the vitamin D endocrine system. Several studies have reported mixed results with respect to relationship of VDR gene and hypertension. Observational evidence supports...
