The cause of essential hypertension has not been fully established, but genetic factors seem to play a very important role. In our study we found that ins4436A in the HSD11B1 gene was associated with essential hypertension in a Polish population. Nevertheless, the impact of ins4436A in the HSD11B1 gene on the occurrence of essential hypertension requires further investigations.
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.
