AGT rs5050(T > G) has been identified as a regulator of the transcription of AGT mRNA, with differential expression between sexes. We sought to determine if rs5050(T > G), an estrogen response element, modifies the relationship between estrogen and angiotensinogen levels. METHODS: rs5050(T > G) was genotyped, and plasma...
