Should not change hypertension evaluation; hypothesis-generating for sex- and ethnicity-specific genetic associations in Tibetan females.
Is the A-6G variant of the angiotensinogen gene associated with essential hypertension in Han, Tibetan, and Yi populations?
The G allele of the A-6G variant in the angiotensinogen gene is associated with essential hypertension specifically in Tibetan females, highlighting population- and sex-specific genetic risks.
