Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The angiotensinogen T235 allele is associated with elevated plasma angiotensinogen levels whereas the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) deletion (D) allele is associated with elevated ACE activity. It remains unclear, however, whether these genetically mediated elevations of angioten...
