Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To examine the association of the molecular variants of the angiotensinogen (AGT) gene with essential hypertension in Taiwanese. METHODS: We conducted a case-control study concerning 151 subjects, 102 hypertensives and 49 normotensives. We created a rapid mini-sequencing method based on dye-terminator cycle sequencing to simultaneously detect the M235T and T174M variants of the AGT gene for each...
