TT genotype of AT1 C573T may associate with lower UAE in young hypertensives; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Do angiotensin II AT1 receptor gene polymorphisms influence microalbuminuria in young adults with essential hypertension?
The C573T polymorphism of the angiotensin II AT1 receptor gene appears to be a genetic protective factor against increased urinary albumin excretion in young adults with essential hypertension.
