Abstrakt: The angiotensinogen gene has recently been linked to essential hypertension. A variant within this gene, encoding threonine rather than methionine at amino acid position 235, was associated with essential hypertension. However, results of new studies have not confirmed this association, suggesting that ethnic differences may explain the different results.
