pubmed:abstractText |
We previously described an association between the -344C/T 5'-untranslated region (UTR) polymorphism in the CYP11B2 (aldosterone synthase) gene and hypertension with a raised aldosterone to renin ratio (ARR); the same genetic variant is also associated with impaired adrenal 11beta-hydroxylase efficiency. The -344 polymorphism does not seem to be functional, so is likely to be in linkage with variants in CYP11B1 that determine the associated variation in 11beta-hydroxylase efficiency. We therefore aimed to determine whether there is an association between CYP11B1 variants and hypertension and/or an altered ARR.
