Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Heart failure (HF) is a complex disease and one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. Increased B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels have been associated with HF. The NPPB:rs198389 (c.-381T > C) promoter polymorphism has been found to modulate BNP levels. AIM: To investigate possible associations among the NPPB:rs198389 polymorphism, N-terminal pro-BNP (NT-proBNP)...
