Abstract excerpt
Gi proteins mediate the intracellular effects of many vasoactive and proliferative stimuli. Recently such signaling was found to be enhanced in cultured cells of some hypertensive subjects. A polymorphism at position 825 (C-->T) of the G protein beta3 subunit gene (GNB3) was strictly related to this phenotype. The aim of the present investigation was to test the association between this polymorphism and blood...
