Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The Hutterite Brethren are a genetic isolate characterized by high indices of relatedness and a communal agrarian lifestyle. We hypothesized that variation of the angiotensinogen (AGT) and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) genes would be associated with variation in resting blood pressure in this group. We also hypothesized that the association would depend on the sex of the subjects. METHODS AND...
