Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To study the association between polymorphisms of the angiotensinogen (AGT) gene and blood pressure in population-based samples, and to determine whether genetic variation at the AGT locus is involved in the susceptibility to myocardial infarction. METHODS: The study population compri...
