- Abstract
The article presents results of a study regarding the relationship between C825T polymorphism in the GNB3 gene with the levels of blood pressure. The frequency distribution of C825T polymorphism of GNB3 is 38 for the T/T genotype, 146 for C/T genotype and 191 for C/C genotype. The study failed to find any relationship between the polymorphism and other cardiovascular risk markers, like body mass index, total cholesterol and triglycerrides levels.
