Association of polymorphisms in AGTR1 and AGTR2 genes with primary aldosteronism in the Chinese Han population

Conclusions:
The AGTR1 rs3772616 polymorphism can be considered as a hereditary marker for primary aldosteronism, and in the Chinese Han population the rs5193 G allele seems to predispose to it only in women.
