Why the study?
Are AGT gene variants (M235T and T174M) associated with essential hypertension?
Are AGT gene variants (M235T and T174M) associated with essential hypertension?
Polymorphic variants of the AGT gene (M235T and T174M) are associated with an increased risk of essential hypertension, particularly in women.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
AGT variants may confer female-specific hypertension risk; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
