• Year of publication: 1999
• Type: Article in Proceedings
• Conference: Physiol Research, Suppl 1
• MU Faculty or unit: Faculty of Medicine
• Field: Cardiovascular diseases incl. cardiosurgery
• Keywords: CA/CT dinucleotide repeat polymorphism; endothelin-1; essential hypertension
• Description: Lengths of CA/CT dinucleotide repeat polymorphhism in the gene coding for endothelin-1 were associated with essential hypertension. Significant increase of the length of allelic variants of the polymorphism in essential hypertensives was found (P=0.03).
