Among individuals with essential hypertension certain relationships were documented between rs5182 and rs5186 polymorphisms of AGTR1 gene and rs1799998 polymorphism of CYP11B2 gene on one hand and the volume of carotid bodies on one other.
The present study is about a particular genetic polymorphism (A1166C), gene expression and protein expression of the angiotensin II type I receptor (AT1R) (SNP ID: rs5186) and its association with essential hypertension in a Northern Indian population.
