The rs243866/243865 polymorphisms in MMP-2 gene and the relationship with BP control in obese resistant hypertensive subjects

We sought to investigate whether the polymorphisms rs243865 (− 1306C > T); rs243866 (− 1575G > A) and rs2285053 (− 735C > T) in metalloproteinases 2 - MMP-2 gene and rs17576 (Q279R), rs17577 (Q668R) and rs3918242 (− 1562C > T) in MMP-9 gene are associated with clinical outcomes in obese resistant hypertensive (RH) subjects. One hundred and twenty RH were enrolled in this cross-sectional study and divided into obese (n = 63) and non-obese (n =...
