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.
In a preliminary study we found no association between the distribution of the C/T573 polymorphic site and cardiovascular disease, such as essential hypertension (n = 20) coronary artery disease (n = 16) hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (n = 12) or dilated cardiomyopathy (n = 21).
