Abstract excerpt
Neprilysin (NEP) degrades several vasoactive peptides and may contribute to blood pressure maintenance. This study aims to examine the associations between serum NEP levels and variants at its coding gene and hypertension in a general Chinese population. Leveraging the baseline blood specimens of the Gusu cohort, serum NEP was assayed, and 14 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the MME gene were genotyped...
