Abstract excerpt

Within the context of an international collaborative study of the evolution of hypertension in the black diaspora, we determined the allelic distribution of hypertension candidate genes for the renin-angiotensin system in three populations of African origin. The insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and the M235T and T174M variants of the angiotensinogen (AGT) gene were...
