Abstract excerpt
The purpose of the present study was to characterize three polymorphisms within the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in an African American population. A new mispairing primer polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was developed to identify two polymorphisms (T174M, M235T) in the angiotensinogen gene. A previously described PCR method was used to identify an insertion (I)/deletion (D) polymorphism in the angiotensin...
