Abstract excerpt
Variants of the human angiotensinogen gene have been linked in some studies to increased circulating angiotensinogen levels and essential hypertension. To test for direct causality between genotypes at the angiotensinogen locus and blood pressures, we have studied mice carrying zero, one, two, th...
