Effect of Dietary Salt Excess on DNA Methylation and Transcriptional Regulation of Human Angiotensinogen Gene Expression
8 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hypertension is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Angiotensinogen (AGT) is a component of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which regulates blood pressure. Genome-wide association studies have shown that two A/G polymorphisms (rs2493134 and rs2004776), located at +507 and +1164 in intron I of the human AGT (hAGT) gene, are linked to hypertension. AGT polymorphisms...
