Prediction of patient responses to antihypertensive drugs using genetic polymorphisms: investigation of renin-angiotensin system genes.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the M235T polymorphism of the angiotensinogen (AGT) gene and the insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the angiotensin-1 converting enzyme (ACE) gene predict blood pressure response to different antihypertensive agents. DESIGN: Sixty-three patients with untreated...
