Why the study?
Are renin-angiotensin system and natriuretic peptide receptor A gene polymorphisms associated with hypertension in a Hellenic population?
Are renin-angiotensin system and natriuretic peptide receptor A gene polymorphisms associated with hypertension in a Hellenic population?
In a Hellenic population, the LL polymorphism of the renin gene may be associated with a decreased risk of hypertension, though AGT, ACE, and NPRA polymorphisms showed no significant association after adjustment.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Renin LL genotype may link to lower hypertension risk in this population; leaves open replication in larger prospective studies before any clinical consideration.
Tsezou et al. (2008) studied this question.
