Abstract excerpt
Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) is considered to be a multifactorial disease. Genetic background plays an important role for the pathogenesis of PIH as well as environmental effects. Recently, an association between PIH and a molecular variant of angiotensinogen (AGT) gene, which encodes methionine (M235) or threonine (T235) at residue 235, was reported both in Caucasians and the Japanese women.
