Why the study?
Are polymorphisms in X-linked genes (ACE2, AGTR2, apelin) associated with an increased risk of hypertension in northeastern Han Chinese?
Are polymorphisms in X-linked genes (ACE2, AGTR2, apelin) associated with an increased risk of hypertension in northeastern Han Chinese?
Genetic defects in the AGTR2 and apelin genes may play an independent role in determining susceptibility to hypertension in northeastern Han Chinese.
May support genetic susceptibility research in hypertension; should not yet change clinical practice or screening.
