Relationship between cystathionine gamma-lyase gene polymorphism and essential hypertension in Northern Chinese Han population.

Abstract

The present study suggests that the SNPs rs482843 and rs1021737 of the CTH gene were not associated with essential hypertension in the Northern Chinese Han population. However, replications in other populations and further functional studies are still necessary to clarify the role of the CTH gene in the pathogenesis of EH.
