Abstract excerpt

We previously found an association between blood pressure and genetic variation of angiotensinogen in Canadian Hutterites. We hypothesized that variation in other candidate genes would also be associated with variation in blood pressure. We included genotypes of 12 candidate genes, along with cli...
