Abstract:Introduction.The priority area in the study of the etiological factors of arterial hypertension (AH) is genetic research. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of genes of the NFATC (nuclear factor of activated Tcells) family do not directly affect blood pressure (BP) in humans but can participate in the formation of an unfavorable course of AH. Among the most important SNPs of the NFATC4 gene, rs2229309 (Gly160Ala), which affects the development of cardiac hypertrophy, can be noted [1, P. 435]. Previously, w… Show more
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.
