Why the study?
Interventions targeting environmental risk factors for essential hypertension have limited efficacy in individuals with high genetic risk.
Are ACE2 genetic polymorphisms associated with essential hypertension and hypertension-related target organ damages in individuals from south Xinjiang?
Are ACE2 genetic polymorphisms associated with essential hypertension and hypertension-related target organ damages in individuals from south Xinjiang?
Specific ACE2 genetic polymorphisms are associated with increased risk of essential hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and left atrial remodeling in a Chinese population.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
ACE2 variants associate with EH and target organ damage; leaves open whether genotyping refines risk stratification in similar populations.
