Lack of association between the C825T polymorphism in G-protein beta-3 subunit and arterial blood pressure levels in cardiovascular disease free individuals: the ATTICA epidemiological study.
GNB3 825 C>T is likely to be a significant risk factor for LVH but not for EH in the Emirati population, thereby strengthening the view that LVH is genetically a separate clinical entity.
The aim of the present study was to determine if there is an association of G-protein b3 subunit (GNB3) gene polymorphisms and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with essential hypertension (EH) in a St. Petersburg population.
