A functional polymorphism of the NR3C2 gene was associated with risk of HTN. The data provided in this study seems to give credit to the hypothesis of the participation of MR gene in the development of HTN, although further studies are necessary to better assess its real impact.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
