Abstract excerpt
The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is involved in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension. In the present study we examined the genotype frequencies of the insertion/deletion polymorphisms of the ACE gene and the M235T polymorphism of the Angiotensinogen (Agt) gene in patients with essential hypertension in comparison with normotensive subjects. In hypertensive patients functional effects of blood pressure...
