Why the study?
Is the corin I555 (P568) minor allele associated with increased risk of hypertension and higher systolic blood pressure in black individuals?
Is the corin I555 (P568) minor allele associated with increased risk of hypertension and higher systolic blood pressure in black individuals?
The corin I555 (P568) minor allele is common in black individuals and is independently associated with higher systolic blood pressure and an increased risk of prevalent hypertension.
