Keywords

Angiotensin Ii Receptor Polymorphism, Genetic Vascular Tone Angiotensin Ii Losartan

Description

Polymorphisms in the genes encoding for various elements of the renin angiotensin system have been associated with cardiovascular disease. We have isolated novel alleles in the angiotensin II type I receptor gene. We propose this exploratory investigation to study the physiological effect of these mutations on vascular function in patients and family members who carry these rare alleles.
