Association of aldosterone synthase CYP11B2 (-344C/T) gene polymorphism with essential hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy in the Egyptian population
Background and Objectives: Essential hypertension is a complex progressive cardiovascular disorder. Renin–angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) plays a major role in blood pressure regulation. Aldosterone, synthesized in the adrenal cortex by aldosterone synthase is encoded by the CYP11B2 gene. This...
