Risk given by polymorphisms in inducing susceptibility to essential hypertension among isolated populations from a remote region of China: A case-control study among the isolated populations
Introduction: Hypertension is a serious risk factor affecting up to 30% of the world’s population with a heritability of more than 30–50%. The aim of this study was to investigate the contribution of the polymorphisms localized in the angiotensinogen ( AGT ) gene, a main component of the renin–angio...
