Abstract excerpt
The B2-bradykinin receptor gene has been proposed as one of the candidate genes involved in the complex genetic underpinnings of common chronic disorders such as hypertension, ischemic heart disease or allergic asthma. Suitable genetic markers are needed to study these hypotheses. Therefore, it w...
